The Pwnie Awards

Presented at DEF CON 32 (2024), Aug. 10, 2024, 10 a.m. (45 minutes).

The Pwnies are an annual awards ceremony celebrating and making fun of the achievements and failures of security researchers and the wider security community. Every year, members of the infosec community nominate the best research and exploits they’ve seen. The Pwnie Award nominations are judged by a panel of respected security researchers and former pwnie award recipients – the closest to a jury of peers a hacker is likely to ever get. At this event DEF CON attendees will get a first person look at some of the most groundbreaking research and hacks in the cyber security community of the past year, and the winners get some well deserved recognition from the broader community for the great work they’ve done.
