Adventure Awaits
At Defcon 2019, we’re launching a community-driven fundraiser to build the Hacker Puzzle Adventure Cube: an interactive, immersive art project celebrating the magic and wizardry of hacking.
With your support, this ~2.5 foot square electronic puzzle box will contain a series of challenges ranging from classic CTF-style to lockpicking, crypto, RF, reverse engineering, and audiovisual.
The finished cube will be showcased at hacker cons and events, engaging community collaboration to solve the ultimate hacker challenge.
