13 days to Positive Hack Days

The timer located on the website phdays.ru counts minutes of approach, perhaps one of the most significant events for the Russian information security industry in 2011. “Positive technologies” gather around themselves the elite of dungeons breaking into information and the gurus of the art of its defense, who have long been released to the light.

The idea of ​​organizing such an event was in the air: an abundance of conferences in Russia of a similar subject focused more on business in this area than on demonstrating real threats and publishing materials that are really interesting not only to large companies, but also to the public in general.

The first attempts to rectify the current situation are the organization of CTF from Positive Technologies within the framework of the Chaos Constructions peri-hacker conference. Under the guise of this competition, speeches of specialists in the field of information security were held and this direction of the conference grew rapidly, demanding more and more resources and a more serious organizational approach.

Here's the result: something more than just a CTF , something more than just an information security forum. The scale level is international. Mission - cheeky. The questions raised during the event are philosophical and, most importantly, relevant for the current state of the industry.

Positive Technologies swung at the level of Defcon . Going into this orbit, you can either burn yourself or become a pioneer and permanently fix your name on the information security scene.
