> ABOUT_HCKSYD

HCKSYD isn't your typical security conference. We've stripped away the corporate gloss and hoodie stereotypes to create something raw, technical, and distinctly Australian.

Held in the heart of Sydney, we bring together the Asia-Pacific's finest security researchers, practitioners, and hackers for two intensive days of knowledge sharing, hands-on workshops, and the legendary 48-hour CTF competition.

Whether you're breaking systems or defending them, HCKSYD is where you level up.
