DistrictCon

THATS A WRAP ON DISTRICTCON YEAR 1! ☃️❤️🪩 We sincerely hope you had a great time - it wouldn’t be possible without our amazing team, our speakers, the villages, our sponsors, and most importantly YOU! We hope this brings you a sense of community. Stay warm, be good to each other, and we’ll see you again for Year 2!

@evm_sec This rocks! 🤩

I thought the @DistrictCon year 0 badge was one of the most beautiful pieces of PCB art I’d ever seen w the cherry blossoms and the backlit LED, so I finally got around to making it into a little night light for my office.

@the_bit_diddler @bellafusari1 if it's eol now it'll be eol next year ;)

@bellafusari1 @DistrictCon I don't know how I saw this a year late, but turning a vape into a Glade PlugIn would've been hilarious.

looking for a junkyard submission for @DistrictCon for an RCE in a vape in an EOL product that expels all of the vape juice into vapor

I had the pleasure of speaking at @DistrictCon 🪩 in Washington, DC last weekend. It was my second time speaking at the conference - this time about another common misconfiguration in the cloud that should make you think twice. Power outage last year, snowstorm this year ❄️ once again, the hacker community showed up strong. What a community! great energy and brilliant people 🙌

Just gave Claude Code access to my Logic MSO. github.com/BrownFineSecur… It one-shotted a CTF challenge on the @DistrictCon badge 🤣

Thank you to @__winn and the badass team and volunteers at DistrictCon for putting on a crazy great conference.

@DistrictCon was truly amazing! The perfect size to actually get to know people without feeling overwhelmed by too many things happening in parallel. The junkyard competition was also tons of fun, already thinking about what to submit next year 🌟

Thank you @DistrictCon for the amazing time! I’m so inspired by the people, the organizers, and volunteers who put together such a high quality conference. Thank you to you psyopped mammals who participated in the scav hunt. Until next year!

@princessakano see you next year !!!

My first @DistrictCon was a blast! ❄️ Huge thanks to the organizers and volunteers. I’m really inspired and touched by the community’s passion, and I truly enjoyed the talks, villages, and the crowd. Thanks to everyone who showed up at my talk. See you next year!

Had a blast at @DistrictCon and a little snow couldn't stop a bunch of hackers coming together to do cool shit!❄️ The slides from my talk "Control the Variables and You Control the Code: Language-Level Vulnerabilities in Adobe ColdFusion" are now online 🔥hoyahaxa.com/2026/01/distri…

Had a great time getting to speak @DistrictCon and catch up with so many awesome friends. Check out my project NEMO! The NMEA2000 Education and Maritime Operations platfrom that I released this weekend during my talk. github.com/Soups71/NEMO

We (@arctic0x78 and I) ended up winning best meme target for this! Many thanks to the Junkyard crew for running the competition. It's such a cool concept and I really enjoyed all the unhinged exploits people came up with!

May I present to you; a full copy of doom, running inside of a Rollercoaster Tycoon 1 save game exploit ✨ Thanks for everyone that came to check out our @DistrictCon Junkyard talk! We had a lot of fun putting it together. (check the thread for slides / exploit)

The Junkyard is live! Don’t miss out!
