Hackers will put Internet-connected embedded devices to the test at DefCon 23 security conference in August. The event will be a special place to discuss, build and break Internet-of-Things devices. Participants will have to find previously unknown — 0-day — vulnerabilities in popular Internet-enabled devices and demonstrate working exploits for them. There will also be a surprise contest that will be revealed during the conference and a separate objective-based contest based on the Capture the Flag model. In addition to the contests, the IoT Village will host workshops and talks about IoT device security.”]
