13 days to Positive Hack Days

The timer located on the phdays.ru website counts the minutes of approaching, perhaps, one of the most significant events for the Russian information security industry in 2011. “Positive technologies” gather around themselves the elite of the dungeons of information hacking and the long-established gurus of the art of protecting it.

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, rather than on demonstrating real threats and publishing materials that were really interesting not only to large companies, but to the public as a whole.



The first attempt to rectify the situation is CTF from Positive Technologiesas part of the Chaos Constructions near-hacker conference . Under the guise of this competition, speeches by specialists in the field of information security were held and this direction of the conference was growing rapidly, requiring more resources and a more serious organizational approach.

Here's the result: more than just CTF , more than just a forum on information security. The level of scale is international. Mission is impudent. The issues raised during the event are philosophical and, most importantly, relevant to the current state of the industry.

Positive Technologies Swung to Defcon Level. Entering this orbit, you can either get burned, or become a pioneer and permanently fix your name on the information security scene.
