Announcing Bugcrowd’s DEF CON Badge
We’re excited to announce our first ever DEF CON badge! Starting out as an internal Bugcrowd hackathon project back in April, this year’s Bugcrowd badge brings together a mix of hardware hacking, firmware development, design, and a sprinkling of Bugcrowd culture.

Shift Left…No…Shift Right!
I always like attending the annual Gartner Security and Risk Management in Washington DC because a) I get to do a run around the National Mall and White House, and b) I get to hear what the Gartner analysts are telling their customers. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, Gartner has a lot of mindshare at

A look back at RSA 2018… and the downfall of security technology

Car Hacking in the Cloud (for Cheap) at DEF CON, Part 2
Last month, we wrote an introductory overview of our experience running the second annual Car Hacking Village CTF infrastructure at DEF CON 25. Most notably, our use of Zappa to deploy Flask-based CTFd on AWS Lambda and API Gateway resulted in a $1.50 bill for the entire month of July (excluding database instances), while providing
Car Hacking in the Cloud (for Cheap) at DEF CON
Each summer, members of the security community convene in Las Vegas for a week of talks, networking, and other activities at a series of conferences. At DEF CON specifically, a number of organizations host Capture the Flag (CTF) hacking competitions in which contestants either compete against each other trying to access other teams’ infrastructure while
