Talk abstract:
We're going to talk about why it's hard to trust your car to read a stop sign. This talk covers some of the risks that come with using machine learning algorithms to perform tasks traditionally done by humans, using two example attacks: data poisoning and adversarial examples. We'll talk about when it is and is not safe to use a machine, and provide enough background on deep learning to understand the attacks.
Agenda
5:30 – 6:00 PM: Networking (and pizza delivery!)

Workshops:
- a SQL Injection challenge involving an obscure database called Informix SQL. Your challenge is to exploit the SQL Injection vulnerability to enumerate the hidden flag.
- a StepMania server has been set up and a robot called “TheBestStepmaniaBotEver” has the high score. Beat the robot’s score and it will give you the flag.
