🚢 🏴☠️ YO HO! We've awoken from our slumber, and set sail for CODE BLUE and TenguCon 2.0 in Tokyo next week! This will be the Maritime Hacking Village's second international event, and the start of our overseas campaign to secure maritime infrastructure in the Pacific.
Join us alongside our mates from @biohacking_village @CarHackingVillage @aerospacevillage and ICSV for a cross-sector immersive hacking experience.

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS! Our first year at @defcon as the Maritime Hacking Village was a HUGE success - and we absolutely couldn't do it without our sponsors' generous support.
Bravo Zulu, and cheers to many more great years! ABS Group (Admiral Sponsor), Anduril and Dispel (Vice Admiral), HavocAI, Port of Long Beach, Liberas, MCSI, Splash Robotics, RunSafe Security, OneZero, and Gary Kessler Associates!
🏴☠️☠️ The crew that made it happen! 🏴☠️☠️
Maritime Hacking Village at @defcon 33 wouldn’t have been possible without this incredible group of volunteers. From running CTF challenges and tech demos to keeping our ship afloat (literally), they put in countless hours to make the village a success.
Your passion, skill, and dedication are what keep the maritime security community thriving. Thank you for bringing your best and making MHV Year 0 one to remember! ⚓
Day 3 Recap — MHV @defcon 33
MHV’s maiden voyage is complete! 3 teams of pirate warriors liberated Isla Hexa in our CTF. 7 hacked the real crane system! HavocAI is undefeated.
Thank you all for a huge success! Fair winds and following seas!

Sunday 12:30 PM | Creator Stage 5 (Room 229)
Carson Green & Rik Chatterjee reveal how unsigned firmware updates via SD cards & NMEA 2000 can let attackers hijack marine autopilots remotely with no physical access needed.
Firmware hacks + live demo = a real maritime cybersecurity wake-up call! ⚓️
