Le Tour Du Hack 2025

Pacemakers, insulin pumps and autonomous gadgets now chat over 5G, but every heartbeat they broadcast is an open invitation to hackers. The warning is clear: when code meets flesh, failures aren't blue screens—they're funerals. Regulators finally demand cybersecurity, yet current standards ignore digital evidence.

Step into the high-stakes world of ransomware incidents, where companies face impossible choices and criminals sometimes show unexpected mercy. Through real-world case studies, we'll unravel how attackers break in, how they steal data, how they cripple organisations and what happens when victims negotiate.

Navigating your way through life can be a challenge. Having done Computer Science at Uni in the very early 00's then joining the Police I now find myself as a Principal DFIR Consultant for one of the world's leading Cyber companies.

Welcome to the wacky world of Information Stealers! They come in all shapes and sizes. We'll be discussing the rise and impact these infostealers have had globally throughout various industries and how some have met their downfall through Law Enforcement.

We live in a world where corporations decide how we interact with digital systems, and they are not on our side. If something goes wrong and you're not the 1,000th person to report it, it's your problem. Customer service? That's just a chatbot pretending to care.

In the last 10 years there have been significant changes, I will cover the key factors affecting the threat landscape to help us understand who is likely to attack us and why? I will explore the disruptive geopolitical context and current threats and trends and the new frontiers which cyber is now breaking into.

Digital Forensics and Digital Evidence have long been viewed as the "poor relation" of Cybersecurity—often overlooked by both academia and industry. However, the tide is turning. With the growing sophistication of cybercrime, these fields are gaining the attention they deserve.

Could Rust be a viable option for coding our critical OT systems, adding another language to the IEC 61131-3 standard? Despite IT loving a trend it has always been harder for these trends to get adopted within industrial systems.

Overview of why cyber is an interesting place to work, what 'cybersecurity operations' is, the main focuses of the blue team (preparation, detection, response and recovery), adversary knowledge frameworks (ATT&CK), and finally an overview of important technical and behavioural skills needed in 2025 and beyond!

This presentation provides a step-by-step, technical exploration of the evolution of syscalls. It begins with the fundamental role of NT Windows APIs in executing syscalls within kernel space.

Life sucks. Between the chaos of work life and personal life, it can be hard to make time for some R&R. Today we will discuss what you can do to better manage the chaos as well as activities you can do to unwind and disconnect from the world for a bit.

Smart voice assistants are everywhere and have so much access to our lives and data and rely upon tools like Automatic Speaker Verification to secure their access, but how good are they really at telling whether it is you. Let's look at audio based attacks and see how secure (or unsecure) they really are, and then lets talk all things audio weirdness.

Since 2018, Nvidia's consumer graphics division has been developing a severe case of we-don't-care-about-you-itis. As much as it's a well known fact that corporations are not our friends, for this talk I'd like to investigate the specific, targeted and arguably malicious ways in which Nvidia has gone out of their way to screw over their GeForce customers.

CAPTCHAs are widely used as a security measure to distinguish humans from bots. However, threat actors have been exploiting this tool into a technique known as ClickFix. By presenting fake "Verify You Are a Human" CAPTCHA pages, attackers aim to trick users into executing malicious PowerShell commands.

Embark on a whirlwind tour of global cyber deception with a seasoned(?) security engineer who's been running honeypots in some of the world's most intriguing locales, including the bustling digital battleground of Ukraine.
