Join us for the 10th USENIX Workshop on Offensive Technologies (WOOT '16).WOOT aims to present a broad picture of offense and its contributions, bringing together researchers and practitioners in all areas of computer security. Offensive security has changed from a hobby to an industry. No longer an exercise for isolated enthusiasts, offensive security is today a large-scale operation managed by organized, capitalized actors. Meanwhile, the l...

Join us in Austin, TX, on August 8, 2016 for the 9th Workshop on Cyber Security Experimentation and Test. CSET '16 invites submissions on cyber security evaluation, experimentation, measurement, metrics, data, simulations, and testbeds. The science of cyber security poses significant challenges. For example, experiments must recreate relevant, realistic features in order to be meaningful, yet identifying those features and modeling them is ve...
