WOOT aims to present a broad picture of offense and its contributions, bringing together researchers and practitioners in all areas of computer security.
Co-located with USENIX Security '25 in Seattle on
August 11–12, 2025
Discounted early bird registration for WOOT '25 is still open until Monday - https://www.usenix.org/conference/woot25/registration-information - join us in Seattle on Aug 11/12 (right before USENIX Security) for talks, discussions and the all-important hallway track, and learn about all kinds of cutting-edge offensive security research. Plenty of fun things to learn about - from high-end HW attacks all the way to security "fun" with obscure(?) PHP functions. Take a look at the full program at https://www.usenix.org/conference/woot25/technical-sessions :)
