What is THcon and its CTF?

THcon is a cybersecurity event organized by the Toulouse Informatique Sécurité et Associatif (TISA) association. It aims to bring together hackers, researchers, students, professionals and enthusiasts from all over the world to share their passion and knowledge on cybersecurity.

The event features two days of talks, a social event and a CTF (Capture The Flag) in person. The talks cover various and current topics, such as hardware hacking, firmware analysis, secret extraction in CI/CD systems, attacks against online games, Android security model or the challenges of connected vehicle security. The speakers are recognized experts in their fields, such as Travis Goodspeed, Axelle Apvrille or Damien Cauquil.

The social event is an opportunity for the participants to network and have fun in a friendly and festive atmosphere. It is also the occasion to award the prizes for the challenge that takes place during the talks.

The CTF is a hacking competition that consists of solving cybersecurity challenges. For example, exploiting a vulnerability in an electronic device, extracting hidden data in a memory image, finding weaknesses in an encryption protocol and much more. The CTF takes place at ENSEEIHT on the third day of the event and is open to all levels. The winning teams win prizes such as hacking equipment, t-shirts and other surprises.

Highlights of THcon 2023 and its CTF THcon 2023 and its CTF were full of memorable moments that made this edition a success. Here are some of them:

  • The opening keynote by Travis Goodspeed. He shared his experience and insights on hacking hardware devices, such as radios, microcontrollers or smart cards.
  • The talk by Axelle Apvrille. She showed how to analyze firmware images using static and dynamic techniques. For instance, reverse engineering, emulation or fuzzing.
  • The talk by Damien Cauquil. He demonstrated how to attack online games using various tools and methods. For example, packet sniffing, proxying or cheating.
  • The social event on Thursday evening. Participants enjoyed music, drinks and food while chatting with each other and with the speakers.
  • The award ceremony for the challenge that took place during the talks. The challenge was to find hidden flags in different web pages related to THcon. The first three teams who found all the flags won prizes such as books or vouchers.
  • The CTF on Saturday at ENSEEIHT. More than 600 participants from 12 countries faced various and stimulating challenges in the field of cybersecurity.
  • Congratulation to the Synacktiv team, ENSEEIHT team and GCCENSIBS team for the podium and also to every team that participated ! 👏 You can learn more about GCC-ENSIBS on their LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/gcc-ensibs

Freemindtronic à la Toulouse Hacking Convention 2022 avec son partenaire Bleujour

Freemindtronic, concepteur et fabricant de systèmes électroniques en sûreté et cyber sécurité est sponsor de la 6ème édition de l’événement.

Freemindtronic lors de la Toulouse Hacking Convention réalisera sur son stand THCon2k22 des démonstrations des solutions Kubb Secure de son partenaire Toulousain, Bleujour. Il s’agit de l’unique solution de chiffrement sans contact, de bout en bout, mais d’humain à humain depuis un dispositif NFC.

La particularité de ce chiffrement de bout en bout c’est que les messages ou les fichiers apparaissent « chiffrés » aussi bien chez l’expéditeur que chez le destinataire. Ce n’est qu’avec la Secure card que les données sont déchiffrées.

Les visiteurs découvriront notamment en avant-première la Secure Card, un dispositif de chiffrement sans contact de nombreux services de messageries et des webmails. Cette carte peut s’utiliser avec un téléphone NFC ou sur ordinateur. Les produits Kubb Secure bénéficient de la technologie EviCypher Legacy conçue et développée par Freemindtronic.

La technologie EviCypher a déjà reçu 8 distinctions internationales, dont la médaille d’or 2021 des inventions internationales et dernièrement un Gold Globee Winner 2022 en sécurité matérielle. Cliquez ici pour en savoir plus sur les awards de Freemindtronic.

La team R&D de Freemindtronic est également impliquée dans la proposition d’un CTF qui doit bien évidemment rester secret pour l’instant.

De plus, la team Freemindtronic sera présente simultanément, en virtuel, sur Discord.

La création d’innovations en sûreté et cyber sécurité des systèmes informatiques et systèmes d’information est au cœur de l’ADN de Freemindtronic.

Pour sa première participation, Freemindtronic découvre la fusion de l’évènement THCon2022 avec la journée sécurité de l’INSA. Profitez ainsi, les 14 & 15 avril 2022, sur le campus de l’ENAC à Toulouse de Keynotes, de présentations, de tables rondes et de démonstrations interactives. En savoir plus sur le programme, cliquez ici.

Rappelons que c’est l’un des principaux événements de l’écosystème entrepreneurial international, réunissant startups technologiques, investisseurs, entreprises et institutions.
