Under his leadership, India became the second largest mobile phone producers in the world in 2019 from just two mobile factories in 2014.

'''''Common Service Centers:''''' Ravi Shankar Prasad took efforts to make [[Digital India]] an inclusive program to empower ordinary citizens of India. [[Common Service Centres]] or CSCs became a vehicle to achieve this objective. These Centers were developed as a digital service delivery kiosk in villages and one stop shop for all the digital services for people. Services like railway ticket booking, PAN application, [[Aadhaar]] enrollment, digital skilling, [[Ayushman Bharat]] Card, payment of utility bills, banking and insurance services etc. were offered through these kiosks. There were only 83,000 Common Service Centers in May, 2014. By March, 2019, 310,000 Centers were made functional across 200,000 Gram Panchayats or village clusters out of 250,000 Gram Panchayats of India. These centers created village level digital entrepreneurs, nearly 63,000 of those were women entrepreneurs. It is estimated that this also led to creation of nearly 1 million or 10 Lakh direct and indirect jobs.<ref>[https://www.livemint.com/Politics/XUngWpSfQ1ZPkqApK1QvXO/India-is-changing-through-CSC-egovenance-centres-Narendra.html " India is changing through CSC e-govenance centres: Narendra Modi"], livemint, Retrieved on 3 June 2019.</ref>

More than 300 such micro sanitary pad units were started by rural entrepreneurs and it created employment for 8 to 10 rural women. Biggest impact of this initiative was in the form of spread of awareness among rural women about menstrual hygiene and the availability of low cost sanitary pads made locally. Women who manufactured these pads in their units also worked like advocacy groups in their villages and created awareness about using sanitary pads instead of other traditional methods during menstrual cycle.<ref>[https://www.jagranjosh.com/current-affairs/stree-swabhiman-initiative-launched-for-women-health-and-hygiene-1517199810-1 "Stree Swabhiman Initiative launched for Women Health and Hygiene"], jagranjosh, Retrieved on 3 June 2019.</ref>

==Achievements==

In July 2002, after taking charge of Ministry of Law and Justice (State), he prepared a bill to amend the Representation of People Act within a fortnight in 2002. In 2003, he became the information and broadcasting minister where he was responsible for introducing reforms in the radio, television, and animation which improved the quality and functioning of these sectors.

=== Triple Talaq Ban ===

The [[President of India]] gave his assent<ref>[https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/president-gives-assent-to-triple-talaq-bill-1575893-2019-08-01"], President gives assent to triple talaq bill, indiatoday, Retrieved on 1 August 2019.</ref> to the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights of Marriage) Act, 2019 on 1 August 2019.<ref>[[The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill, 2019]]", wikipedia, Retrieved on 1 August 2019.</ref>

This Law seeks to criminalize the practice of 'instant divorce' (known as [[triple talaq]]) which occurs in some parts of the [[Muslim community]], whereby a husband can divorce his wife by a pronouncement of the word 'Talaq' three times. According to [[Islamic laws]] enforced by the [[All India Muslim Personal Law Board]] of India (AIMPLB), a non-governmental body that supervises the application of Muslim personal law, the practice of instant triple Talaq was going on in India even though it was not practiced in most Islamic nations.<ref>[https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/triple-talaq-bill-passed-in-rajya-sabha-1575309-2019-07-30 "History made, triple talaq bill passed by Parliament"], indiatoday, Retrieved on 31st July2019.</ref> The AIMPLB has been criticised for being a patriarchal organisation that does not represent Muslim women.<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-37273958 "India anger over Muslim board's 'patriarchal' remark"], BBC</ref>

The government, led by [[Prime Minister Narendra Modi]] and Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, made several attempts to bring a law to ban the practice of instant [[Triple Talaq]] in 2018 and 2019 but both the attempts failed as the government did not have majority in the upper house i.e. [[Rajya Sabha]] of the [[Indian Parliament]]. Opposition parties led by [[Indian National Congress]], [[All India Trinamool Congress]] etc. opposed the reforms. However, following a third attempt, the government managed to get this law passed in Parliament in July 2019.<ref>[https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/rajya-sabha-passes-triple-talaq-bill/article28760822.ece "Triple Talaq Bill sails through in Rajya Sabha"], thehindubusinessline, Retrieved on 30 July 2019.</ref>

As the Law Minister of India, Ravi Shankar Prasad reintroduced the Bill in the [[Lok Sabha]] and after getting it passed from [[Lok Sabha]], it was moved into [[Rajya Sabha]] which also passed it by a majority of 99 to 84. Subsequently, the [[President of India]] gave his assent to this Bill and it became and Act.<ref>[https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/triple-talaq-bill-passed-by-rajya-sabha-massive-victory-for-narendra-modi-govt-4268231.html], Triple Talaq Bill passed by Rajya Sabha, massive victory for Narendra Modi govt, moneycontrol, Retrieved on 30 July 2019.</ref>

As per this Law, a Muslim woman who has been given instant triple Talaq can approach the Police station and lodge a criminal case against her husband. This was pitched by the government as a major social reform to empower Muslim women of India by bringing them out of the [[patriarchal]] atrocities practiced in their community.<ref>[https://www.jagranjosh.com/current-affairs/triple-talaq-bill-live-updates-triple-talaq-bill-in-parliament-muslim-women-protection-of-rights-on-marriage-ordinance-1564471401-1"], History created in Rajya Sabha, Triple Talaq bill passed, jagranjosh, Retrieved on 30 July 2019.</ref>

===Digital India programme===

Ravi Shankar Prasad is spearheading the [[Digital India]] programme as Minister for Electronics and Information Technology since May 2014. Recently UK based think tank [[Apolitical]] adjudged him as one of the top twenty leaders in the list of 100 most influential people in Digital Government 2018. He is the only Indian to be featured in the top twenty. He was one of the first leaders in the world who had openly supported the cause of [[net-neutrality]] and as a Minister in charge of digital affairs in India declined Facebook the permission to operate Free Basics in India. He is also known to have taken a tough stand against misuse of social media for destabilising democracy and fomenting violence in society. Led by Ravi Shankar Prasad, [[Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology]] sent legal notices to both Facebook and [[Cambridge Analytica]]. Unsatisfied with their responses, he ordered the criminal investigation in this data theft episode by India's apex crime investigation body, the [[Central Bureau of Investigation]]. When incidents of mob violence were reported in a few parts of India by viral circulation of fake messages on Whatsapp, he took a firm stand against Whatsapp and demanded technological solutions to curb the problem of fake messages leading to violence. While responding to a debate in the [[Indian Parliament]] he openly supported the role of social media in giving a means of expression to ordinary people that they are happily using to question the politicians and media editors, he warned the social media platforms against any misuse of the platform for encouraging violence and terror. Responding to the legal notice served by [[Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology]], Whatsapp took several steps such as mentioning the word forwarded on every message that was forwarded by a user. Whatsapp has also restricted the number of forwarded messages to a maximum of five. Besides these stern regulatory measures that were taken under the leadership of Ravi Shankar Prasad, he is also known for promoting digital development in the rural areas of India by creating a network of 300,000 village level digital entrepreneurs who are operating digital service delivery kiosks known as the [[Common Service Centers]] across India. This has not only ensured the availability of digital services in rural areas but has also created job opportunities for 1.2 million rural youth.<ref>apolitical [https://apolitical.co/lists/digital-government-world100 "World’s 100 Most Influential People in Digital Government"], Retrieved on 9 August 2018.</ref><ref>net-neutrality [https://www.hindustantimes.com/tech/net-neutrality-ravi-shankar-prasad-says-right-of-internet-access-is-non-negotiable/story-3HATMUGp5Qg4S0xq2sBagJ.html "Net neutrality: Ravi Shankar Prasad says right of internet access is ‘non-negotiable’"], Retrieved on 23 November 2017.</ref><ref>cambridgeanalytica [https://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/cbi-to-probe-cambridge-analytica-data-breach-case-says-ravi-shankar-prasad-118072601139_1.html "CBI to probe Cambridge Analytica data breach case, says Ravi Shankar Prasad "], Retrieved on 26 July 2018.</ref>

==History==
The term CIA defines the CIA triad, a benchmark model in information security designed to govern and evaluate how an organization handles data when it is stored, transmitted, or processed. The CIA Conference (CIACON) is managed & marketed by Intersquad Cyber Intelligence Pvt. Ltd. which was founded in 2017 by Vaibhav Jha. Formally in 2018, it was organised in association with Manav Rachna by the name of the National Cyber Security Conference. The chief guest of 2018 edition of the conference was Gulshan Rai, first national cybersecurity coordinator of India.<ref>{{cite web | title = How the Co-Founders of CIA Conference aka CIACON, Vaibhav Jha & Arjun Chaudhary started their journey | publisher=Mid-day | url = https://www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/infotainment/article/mihir-sagar-the-determined-soul-and-a-self-made-man-23177064?infinite-scroll=1 |date=7 June 2021| access-date = 2021-06-09 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title = Vaibhav Jha recognised for being the youngest Indian trainer in cybersecurity | publisher = Hindustan Times | url = https://www.hindustantimes.com/brand-post/vaibhav-jha-recognised-for-being-the-youngest-indian-trainer-in-cyber-security-101621425670198.html |date=19 May 2021| access-date = 2021-05-25 }}</ref>

==Events==
===Trainings===
Pre-Conference trainings are dedicated training sessions on various subdomains of information security and related topics. Historical workshops have been held on topics such as Practical Mobile App Attacks, Digital Forensics, Buffer Overflow, IOT Security.

===Villages===
Villages are a dedicated space where various domain-specific security groups present their own series of events, which could be a sort of challenge, talks or any live hacking demonstrations. In the 2020 edition of CIACON, for the first time IOT Village presented their interactive hacking labs in [[India]]. Over the years IoT Village has served as a platform to showcase and uncover hundreds of new vulnerabilities, giving attendees the opportunity to learn about the most innovative techniques to both hack and secure IoT. IoT Village is organised by a security consulting and research firm, Independent Security Evaluators (ISE), and the non-profit organization, Village Idiot Labs (VIL).

===CIACON CTF===
They came into the limelight after their concept of Gaming CTF Platform. CIA Conference launched Asia’s first Platform based on Unity 3D. It enables the CTF teams to play the game in real-time and solve the integrated challenges. This Game Based CTF became the most unique CTF platform and was loved by many CTF players all across the globe. Traditionally CTF is being held on the web application, but CIA Conference launched the most unique concept of Computer Simulated CTF.<ref>{{cite web | title = Asia's Most Popular Cybersecurity & Hacking Events | publisher = outlook | url = https://www.outlookindia.com/website/story/outlook-spotlight-asias-most-popular-cybersecurity-hacking-events/386176 |date=25 June 2021| access-date = 2021-06-26 }}</ref>

Faridabad has a borderline [[semi-arid climate#Hot semi-arid climates|hot semi-arid climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''BSh'') just short of a dry-winter [[humid subtropical climate]] (''Cwa''). The city features the three typical Indian seasons - The "hot" or pre-monsoon season lasts from late March to late June and is typified by sweltering and arid conditions that begin very dry but latterly turn humid. The "wet" or [[Monsoon of South Asia|monsoon]] season is sweltering and often dangerously humid with frequent but erratic heavy rainfall. Following the retreat of the monsoon is the "cool" or winter season with warm and sunny weather producing by far the most comfortable conditions.{{citation needed|date=March 2018}}

It is approachable by road from [[Delhi]] from the Delhi – [[Mathura]] road. The ruins of the fortifications found in Anangpur village establish by an inference that it was built by Anangpal as part of the [[Lal Kot]] that was developed as the first city of Delhi in the 8th century.<ref name=Sharma>{{Cite book|last=Sharma|first=Y.D|title=Delhi and its Neighbourhood|work=Surjakund and Anagpur Dam|pages=100–161|access-date=2009-09-05|publisher=Archaeological Survey of India|location=New Delhi|year=2001|url=http://www.indiaclub.com/Shop/SearchResults.asp?ProdStock=8780|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030426012208/http://www.indiaclub.com/Shop/SearchResults.asp?ProdStock=8780|url-status=dead|archive-date=26 April 2003|quote=Page 100:Suraj Kund lies about 3 km south-east of Tughlaqabad in district Gurgaon—The reservoir is believed to have been constructed in the tenth century by King Surjapal of Tomar dynasty, whose existence is based on Bardic tradition.

A path from the main village street will lead you into flat pastureland. Head for the small rocky hill ahead of you and climb over it. On the other side is another flat area, rather thickly covered in thorn trees. It is worth finding a way through them to the dam that straddles the gap between the two nearby hills. The dam is an impressive edifice 50 m wide and 7 m high built from accurately hewn quartzite blocks.---There is a passage for the egress of water at the level of the ground on the dammed side. The flat land across which you have walked is caused by centuries of silt deposits in the lake that once existed behind this dam. The land around has been very heavily quarried recently, so further archaeological finds are unlikely.}}</ref><ref name=anag>{{Citation |url=http://www.indiainfoweb.com/haryana/lakes/anagpur-dam.html |title=Anangpur Dam |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091125185110/http://www.indiainfoweb.com/haryana/lakes/anagpur-dam.html |archive-date=25 November 2009 |df=dmy }}</ref>

On the other side is another flat area, rather thickly covered in thorn trees. It is worth finding a way through them to the dam that straddles the gap between the two nearby hills. The dam is an impressive edifice 50 m wide and 7 m high built from accurately hewn quartzite blocks.---There is a passage for the egress of water at the level of the ground on the dammed side. The flat land across which you have walked is caused by centuries of silt deposits in the lake that once existed behind this dam.

Faridabad has a borderline [[semi-arid climate#Hot semi-arid climates|hot semi-arid climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''BSh'') just short of a dry-winter [[humid subtropical climate]] (''Cwa''). The city features the three typical Indian seasons - The "hot" or pre-monsoon season lasts from late March to late June and is typified by sweltering and arid conditions that begin very dry but latterly turn humid. The "wet" or [[Monsoon of South Asia|monsoon]] season is sweltering and often dangerously humid with frequent but erratic heavy rainfall. Following the retreat of the monsoon is the "cool" or winter season with warm and sunny weather producing by far the most comfortable conditions.{{citation needed|date=March 2018}}

A path from the main village street will lead you into flat pastureland. Head for the small rocky hill ahead of you and climb over it. On the other side is another flat area, rather thickly covered in thorn trees. It is worth finding a way through them to the dam that straddles the gap between the two nearby hills. The dam is an impressive edifice 50 m wide and 7 m high built from accurately hewn quartzite blocks.---There is a passage for the egress of water at the level of the ground on the dammed side. The flat land across which you have walked is caused by centuries of silt deposits in the lake that once existed behind this dam. The land around has been very heavily quarried recently, so further archaeological finds are unlikely.}}</ref><ref name=anag>{{Citation |url=http://www.indiainfoweb.com/haryana/lakes/anagpur-dam.html |title=Anangpur Dam |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091125185110/http://www.indiainfoweb.com/haryana/lakes/anagpur-dam.html |archive-date=25 November 2009 |df=dmy }}</ref>

It is in the flood plains of the [[Yamuna]] River on one side and the [[Hindon River|Hindon]] River on the other. Many villages are visible from the Noida Expressway, beginning from the Mahamaya flyover to Greater Noida on both sides. One end of the Taj expressway terminates on Noida Expressway near the Hindon River and the other at Agra. Up until the 1980s, these villages were flooded every 2–3 years, resulting in people temporarily moving to other places in Noida, and even as far as Mehrauli in Delhi. Noida is also famous for its tall buildings and comes 2nd in India after Mumbai in this parameter.

There is always a huge amount of revenue surplus each year as they are unable to spend the entire amount on development or on maintaining civic amenities. Lease rent and interest from builders are the biggest contributors to Noida's revenue. Besides, the authority gets huge revenues out of water and property transfer charges. "The Noida authority had deposited {{INR}}3,500 [[crore]] as fixed deposits in various banks because of surplus funds.

Noida originally consisted of around 81 villages, but now comes under the [[Gautam Budh Nagar district|Gautam Buddh Nagar district]] of Uttar Pradesh.<ref name="timesofindia.indiatimes.com">{{cite web|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/noida/Rural-Noida-to-enter-digital-domain/articleshow/47007097.cms|title=Rural Noida to enter digital domain|last=Keelor|first=Vandana|date=22 April 2015|work=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=3 October 2017}}</ref>

Still, Noida villages lack permanent postal and individual address but according to officials, the homes in villages will be soon mapped using aerial imagery captured by drones designed by North East Centre For Technology Application and Reach (NECTAR), an autonomous society set up under the Union government's department of science and technology. These maps will also provide crucial information about rural areas in an emergency. Officials said it will take almost a year to complete mapping and allotting addresses to all 81 villages.

With houses getting mapped and being allotted a formal address in Noida villages, procuring information on land rights, development plans, etc. will become easier. "Easily available maps will also be helpful in advancing development plans and settling disputes over bordering parcels of land. Mapping will also ease land transfers, by creating reliable maps and title documents."<ref name="timesofindia.indiatimes.com"/>

==A curious query==
Hello Wiki Dwarf! I am an old user in English Wikipedia. When I tried to log in here with the same account and password, it failed. Btw, my queries are: 1) Is this wikipedia a part of Wikimedia sister projects? 2) Sometimes, I found some articles, though not original of here (I mean they seems to be imported from the simple English wikipedia), does this mean that all the articles are imported? 3) Can I create my user account here and at the same time, can I create original articles here? Though articles with similar names exist in the en wikipedia?
[[Special:Contributions/47.29.19.238|47.29.19.238]] ([[User talk:47.29.19.238|talk]]) 00:04, 8 May 2021 (IST)
:{{re|47.29.19.238}} Hello there, Bharatpedia is an independent platform (please see [[Bharatpedia:General disclaimer]]) so you won't be able to login using your Wikipedia account details, but you may create a new account under the same username. Account creation is not required in order to read or edit this site, but if you wish to create new articles you can sign up with a new account and can create articles on notable topics, no matter if the particular article exists on Wikipedia under the same or similar name. Some articles here are imported from Wikipedia and you may notice a disclosure at the end of each page such as [[Achappam]] and if you can't find such disclosure, you can add one by placing <code><nowiki>{{en-Wikipedia}}</nowiki></code> at the end of the article. Thank you. [[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]] ([[User talk:WikiDwarf#top|talk]]) 00:36, 8 May 2021 (IST)
:::Finally, I read the article you cited. Next, 4) Is it mandatory for me to create my new user account here with the exactly same username from the wikipedia org?

::And, another thing, can I create a draft page and how should I start that? SonOfZeus 18:49, 9 May 2021 (IST)
:::Yes you can experience in your sandbox. The number of articles you can see on the main page and unfortunately the list of active users is only limited to sysops. To create a draft you can visit [[Bharatpedia:Article wizard]]. [[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]] ([[User talk:WikiDwarf#top|talk]]) 10:12, 10 May 2021 (IST)
::::And lastly, does Indic script policy also apply here? SonOfZeus 18:29, 10 May 2021 (IST)
:::::No, you can use the Indic script in the lead and infobox to address the name of the subject. [[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]] ([[User talk:WikiDwarf#top|talk]]) 19:30, 10 May 2021 (IST)
:::::: Thank you. SonOfZeus 20:55, 11 May 2021 (IST)
::{{Ping|WikiDwarf}} Hello WikiDwarf, I don't find any user with your name in English wikipedia. Are you there in English wikipedia? If yes, may I know what is your username there? If that affects your privacy, then I am sorry. Else, please tell me.
::And another thing, can I request you for importing articles from wikipedia? SonOfZeus 12:30, 12 May 2021 (IST)
:::Sure you can list the articles [[Bharatpedia:Requested articles|on this page]]. [[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]] ([[User talk:WikiDwarf#top|talk]]) 19:40, 12 May 2021 (IST)
::::But sir, I don't find any link to go to any particular page where I can write the name of the article which I want to request for import.(1) Could you please show me the link for the page where I could write the request? (2) At the same, if I could personally request you at your talk page, please import [[Meitei deities]] and [[List of figures in Meitei mythology]] from simple English Wikipedia. SonOfZeus 11:57, 13 May 2021 (IST)

::::::Thank you for pointing it out. I have created a button that will take you to the request page and also imported the two pages you requested above. [[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]] ([[User talk:WikiDwarf#top|talk]]) 19:50, 13 May 2021 (IST)
:: But sir, (1) [[Meitei deities]] is a redirect page of another page. The main page is not imported yet from Simple English Wikipedia. (2) How many articles can I request at a time? Is there any limitation of number of articles at a single request? (3) If something gets changed in the article at general wikipedia, will it's imported equivalent article in this wikipedia get affected? For example, an article "x" has been deleted in general wiki, what about its equivalent article "x" in this wiki? SonOfZeus 10:55, 14 May 2021 (IST)
:::I have imported its corresponding article please see [[List of Meitei gods and goddesses]]. You can request as many articles as you wish as there is no limit.

:::: Thank you sir. And, one thing is that can a page be created or imported by anonymous users? I saw [[Irai Leima]] being imported by an anonymous. Is that a vandalism? As you are a check user also, what do you see. Who's that? SonOfZeus 13:27, 14 May 2021 (IST)
:::::No, that article was imported using the tool by an admin and the most recent revision was included so that's the reason [[Irai Leima]] looks like created/imported by anon. [[User:WikiDwarf|WikiDwarf]] ([[User talk:WikiDwarf#top|talk]]) 14:06, 14 May 2021 (IST)
:::::I have imported all the articles as per your request at [[Bharatpedia:Requested articles/requests]], please place <code><nowiki>{{simple-Wikipedia}}</nowiki></code> at the end of each article to avoid copyright issue.

::Thanks for those import! And one thing, (1) I am trying my best to put the "simple English wikipedia template " at the bottom of every imported article. But if I missed some, will there be assured chance of facing copyright issues? (2) In case of edits performed by myself in the general wikipedia, can I directly copy and paste those here? SonOfZeus 20:08, 14 May 2021 (IST)
::(3) The page [[Khamba Thoibi]] has a very important long infobox and some wiki tables in the [[:en:Khamba Thoibi]] (general English wikipedia). Can we import those partially here? SonOfZeus 20:10, 14 May 2021 (IST)
:::I don't see any issue if you wish to directly copy and paste your edits from Wikipedia, but it still needs a disclosure at the end of the page.

==Hacker conferences==
[[File:DEF CON 17 CTF competition.jpg|thumb|A team competing in the [[Capture the flag|CTF]] competition at [[DEF CON]] 17]]
A '''hacker conference''', also known as a '''hacker con''', is a [[Convention (meeting)|convention]] for [[hacker (computer security)|hackers]]. These serve as meeting places for [[phreak]]ers, [[hacker (computer security)|hackers]], and [[computer security|security]] professionals.

The actual events, time-spans, and details of various themes of these conventions not only depends on the specific convention attended but also its perceived reputation. Typically the actual details of any given convention are couched in mild secrecy due to the legality of certain panels, as well as the willingness of attendees to explain themselves to law enforcement and less computer-savvy individuals (see [[hacker definition controversy]]).

Common topics include [[wardriving]], [[lockpicking]], corporate and network security, personal rights and freedoms, new technologies, as well as general 'geek' motifs. Some may also have contests and general collaborative events such as [[hackathon]]s.

[[File:HackerCon Badges.jpg|thumb|right|A variety of electronic and non-electronic hacker conference badges]]
One facet of Hacker conferences that tends to differentiate many "HackerCons" from general computer security conferences, is the evolution of the conference badge. While many conferences use a fairly standard paper/plastic badge to identify attendees by name, many hacker con's have evolved to use more non-traditional badges, such as electronic PCB's with LED's, LCD screens, and can include wifi and advanced, often hidden functionality, to include games, that do not identify the individual, sometimes promoting a group identity or regional/local group affiliation. This has spurred the creation of so-called "badgelife" where different individuals and organizations (such as local hacker groups) may design, create, and sell or otherwise distribute a separate badge attendees wear in addition to their conference badge. These badges may be purchased, but some may have to be earned by completing a challenge at the conference. One of the rarest and most desirable badges is the [[DEF CON#Black Badge|DefCon Black Badge]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/vbne9a/a-history-of-badgelife-def-cons-unlikely-obsession-with-artistic-circuit-boards |title=A History of Badgelife, Def Con's Unlikely Obsession with Artistic Circuit Boards |publisher=motherboard.vice.com |access-date=2019-01-14}}</ref> While the use of the badges are traditionally associated with DefCon, their use has spread to other conferences.

'''Bidhu Shekhar Jha''' is a politician in [[Manitoba]], Canada. He was a member of the [[Legislative Assembly of Manitoba]] from 2003 to 2016, representing the [[Winnipeg]] division of [[Radisson (Manitoba riding)|Radisson]] as a member of the [[New Democratic Party of Manitoba|New Democratic Party]].

==Private life and career==

Jha was born in [[Deoghar]], [[Bihar]] now a part of the [[India]]n state of [[Jharkhand]]. He has a degree in [[Mechanical Engineering]] from [[BIT Sindri]], and has taken post-graduate training in [[Industrial Engineering]] and [[Management]].<ref name="biharandjharkhand.com">[http://biharandjharkhand.com/achievers/profile/politics/bidhujha.htm Directory of Achievers: Mr. Bidhu Jha], Bihar and Jharkhand.com, accessed 4 September 2007.</ref> He moved to [[Canada]] in 1969 and founded Optimum Ergonomics Ltd. in 1978, specializing in office and computer furnishings.<ref>Paul Samyn, "Ethnic groups raise alarms over Reform", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 19 October 1993.</ref> He later founded the Optimum Technology Corporation, specializing in international trade and business development.<ref>Murray McNeill, "Ergonomics firm could be revived", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 2 October 1997, B8; Murray McNeill, "Businessman refuses to let bankrupt firm go", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 27 October 1997, B4; [http://ndpcaucus.mb.ca/oldCaucus/index.php?q=node/5&con=Radisson&french=&content=biography Bidhu Jha Caucus Page: Biography] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070926231253/http://ndpcaucus.mb.ca/oldCaucus/index.php?q=node%2F5&con=Radisson&french=&content=biography |date=2007-09-26 }}, New Democratic Party of Manitoba, accessed 4 September 2007.</ref>

Jha authored the screenplay for a full-length feature film entitled ''[[Namumkin]]'' (1988), telling the story of an [[Asia]]n family exiled from [[Idi Amin]]'s [[Uganda]].<ref>The film was directed by [[Hrishikesh Mukherjee]]. See Suzanne Soto, "Young filmmaker tackles Hindu saga", ''Globe and Mail'', 3 June 1988, E5.</ref> He later served as president of Winnipeg's Indian Association,<ref>Bud Robertson, "Local East Indians mobilize for action", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 3 October 1993. Jha criticized the [[Reform Party of Canada]] in 1993 for its restrictive policies on [[immigration]] and [[multiculturalism]], arguing that the party was pursuing short-term solutions in a dangerous manner. See Paul Samyn, "Ethnic groups raise alarms over Reform", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 19 October 1993.</ref> and led a flag-raising ceremony in 1997 to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of India's independence.<ref>Nick Martin, "Celebrations mark 50 years of freedom for Pakistan, India", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 14 August 1997, A6. On this occasion, Jha was quoted as saying, "Democracy has survived with 17 official languages. There are a lot of similarities (to Canada) with diversity. We are trying to take the Gandhian approach. Being diverse doesn't mean we have to separate ourselves." He made similar remarks six years later, when he was sitting as a member of the legislative: "True Hindus consider the world their extended family and pray for the happiness of all. This manifested itself in my election campaign, in which I claimed the world as our jurisdiction and concern. To me, the most important aspects of the Hindu faith are social justice and democracy." See "Local Hindus celebrate Durga Puja a huge festival for believers", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 11 October 2003, E13.</ref> In 2001, he organized a dinner for [[British Columbia]] [[Premier of British Columbia|Premier]] [[Ujjal Dosanjh]] to mark his selection as Canada's first provincial leader of South Asian background.<ref>"Indo-Canadians putting on dinner for B.C. premier", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 6 August 2000, A3.</ref>

Jha served on the board of [[Manitoba Telephone System]] in 1986-87, and has also served on the boards of the [[Canadian Cancer Society]] and Deer Lodge Foundation.<ref>Jha's departure from the MTS Board was precipitated by a minor controversy. He chose to resign after it was discovered that his company had sold $70,000 worth of office equipment to the MTS in 1985 and 1986. [[Premier of Manitoba|Premier]] [[Howard Pawley]] said that Jha was not in a [[conflict-of-interest]] situation, and he was not accused of any wrongdoing. The MTS rules were subsequently changed to ensure board members did not engage in business with the entity. See "Rules changed for phone firm", ''Globe and Mail'', 5 March 1987, A4.</ref> In 2002, he received a [[Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal]] and an Asia Pacific Award of Entrepreneurship from the [[Asper School of Business]] at the [[University of Manitoba]].<ref>"Manitoba Movers", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 8 July 2002, B7.</ref> He was 63 years old as of 2006.<ref name="biharandjharkhand.com" />

==Political career==

Jha ran for the Manitoba legislature in the [[1999 Manitoba general election|1999 provincial election]], and lost to [[Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba|Progressive Conservative]] candidate [[John Loewen]] in the south Winnipeg division of [[Fort Whyte (Manitoba riding)|Fort Whyte]]. The New Democratic Party won a majority government across the province. After the election, Jha was appointed to the Board of the [[Manitoba Crown Corporations Council]].<ref>"Patronage denied in losing candidate's appointment", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 25 January 2000, A6. Jha received $7,500 per year for the position.</ref> He later chaired a Taxi-Cab Safety Working Group, which was convened after five Winnipeg drivers were murdered over the course of ten years. He issued a report calling for the installation of safety shields, cameras and recording devices; safety shields were made mandatory in 2002.<ref>Mia Rabson, "Cabbies want security beefed up", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 6 March 2001, A3; "Winnipeg cabbies have to install surveillance cameras or get yanked off road", ''Canadian Press'', 24 June 2002, 18:02.</ref>

Jha was elected for the northeast Winnipeg division of [[Radisson (Manitoba riding)|Radisson]] in the [[2003 Manitoba general election|2003 general election]], as the NDP won a second consecutive majority government across the province.<ref>He defeated Chad Samain to win the NDP nomination. See David O'Brien, "Race heating up in Wolseley", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 13 March 2003, A5.</ref> On November 4, 2003, he was appointed Legislative Assistant to the [[Manitoba Minister of Science, Energy and Technology|Minister of Energy, Science and Technology]]. The following year, he was named as Legislative Assistant to the [[Premier of Manitoba|Premier]].<ref>[http://ndpcaucus.mb.ca/oldCaucus/index.php?q=node/5&con=Radisson&french=&content=biography Bidhu Jha Caucus Page: Biography] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070926231253/http://ndpcaucus.mb.ca/oldCaucus/index.php?q=node%2F5&con=Radisson&french=&content=biography |date=2007-09-26 }}, New Democratic Party of Manitoba, accessed 4 September 2007.</ref> He played an active role in securing repairs for the Prendergast Community Centre,<ref>Jen Skerritt, "Funds for roof replacement put centre's fear of closure to rest", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 13 July 2005, B4.</ref> and accompanied Premier [[Gary Doer]] on a trade mission to India in 2006.<ref>"Premier of Canadian province to lead trade mission to India", The Press Trust of India Limited, 7 February 2006.</ref>

Jha broke ranks with his government in 2005 to oppose the construction of a large hog-processing facility in the Radisson division. Many of his constituents were against the project, and Jha argued that the facility should be built outside of the city.<ref>Mary Agnes Welch, "NDP MLAs break ranks, demand hog-plant delay", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 23 November 2005, A1; Bartley Kives, "A fair wind blows on Franco", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 20 January 2006, B1.</ref> In response to criticism, Premier Doer announced in 2007 that the plant would not be constructed.

Some believed that Jha's seat would be vulnerable in the [[2007 Manitoba general election|2007 provincial election]], but he was re-elected by an increased margin.<ref>"Riding to victory 12 key areas to watch this election", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 21 April 2007, A6; Mia Rabson, "Battle is fierce for NDP 'safe seat'", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 20 May 2007, A9.</ref>
Mr. Jha has won the seat for the third time in a row in 2011

==Private life and career==

Jha was born in [[Deoghar]], [[Bihar]] now a part of the [[India]]n state of [[Jharkhand]]. He has a degree in [[Mechanical Engineering]] from [[BIT Sindri]], and has taken post-graduate training in [[Industrial Engineering]] and [[Management]].<ref name="biharandjharkhand.com">[http://biharandjharkhand.com/achievers/profile/politics/bidhujha.htm Directory of Achievers: Mr. Bidhu Jha], Bihar and Jharkhand.com, accessed 4 September 2007.</ref> He moved to [[Canada]] in 1969 and founded Optimum Ergonomics Ltd. in 1978, specializing in office and computer furnishings.<ref>Paul Samyn, "Ethnic groups raise alarms over Reform", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 19 October 1993.</ref> He later founded the Optimum Technology Corporation, specializing in international trade and business development.<ref>Murray McNeill, "Ergonomics firm could be revived", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 2 October 1997, B8; Murray McNeill, "Businessman refuses to let bankrupt firm go", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 27 October 1997, B4; [http://ndpcaucus.mb.ca/oldCaucus/index.php?q=node/5&con=Radisson&french=&content=biography Bidhu Jha Caucus Page: Biography] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070926231253/http://ndpcaucus.mb.ca/oldCaucus/index.php?q=node%2F5&con=Radisson&french=&content=biography |date=2007-09-26 }}, New Democratic Party of Manitoba, accessed 4 September 2007.</ref>

Jha authored the screenplay for a full-length feature film entitled ''[[Namumkin]]'' (1988), telling the story of an [[Asia]]n family exiled from [[Idi Amin]]'s [[Uganda]].<ref>The film was directed by [[Hrishikesh Mukherjee]]. See Suzanne Soto, "Young filmmaker tackles Hindu saga", ''Globe and Mail'', 3 June 1988, E5.</ref> He later served as president of Winnipeg's Indian Association,<ref>Bud Robertson, "Local East Indians mobilize for action", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 3 October 1993. Jha criticized the [[Reform Party of Canada]] in 1993 for its restrictive policies on [[immigration]] and [[multiculturalism]], arguing that the party was pursuing short-term solutions in a dangerous manner. See Paul Samyn, "Ethnic groups raise alarms over Reform", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 19 October 1993.</ref> and led a flag-raising ceremony in 1997 to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of India's independence.<ref>Nick Martin, "Celebrations mark 50 years of freedom for Pakistan, India", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 14 August 1997, A6. On this occasion, Jha was quoted as saying, "Democracy has survived with 17 official languages. There are a lot of similarities (to Canada) with diversity. We are trying to take the Gandhian approach. Being diverse doesn't mean we have to separate ourselves." He made similar remarks six years later, when he was sitting as a member of the legislative: "True Hindus consider the world their extended family and pray for the happiness of all. This manifested itself in my election campaign, in which I claimed the world as our jurisdiction and concern. To me, the most important aspects of the Hindu faith are social justice and democracy." See "Local Hindus celebrate Durga Puja a huge festival for believers", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 11 October 2003, E13.</ref> In 2001, he organized a dinner for [[British Columbia]] [[Premier of British Columbia|Premier]] [[Ujjal Dosanjh]] to mark his selection as Canada's first provincial leader of South Asian background.<ref>"Indo-Canadians putting on dinner for B.C. premier", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 6 August 2000, A3.</ref>

Jha served on the board of [[Manitoba Telephone System]] in 1986-87, and has also served on the boards of the [[Canadian Cancer Society]] and Deer Lodge Foundation.<ref>Jha's departure from the MTS Board was precipitated by a minor controversy. He chose to resign after it was discovered that his company had sold $70,000 worth of office equipment to the MTS in 1985 and 1986. [[Premier of Manitoba|Premier]] [[Howard Pawley]] said that Jha was not in a [[conflict-of-interest]] situation, and he was not accused of any wrongdoing. The MTS rules were subsequently changed to ensure board members did not engage in business with the entity. See "Rules changed for phone firm", ''Globe and Mail'', 5 March 1987, A4.</ref> In 2002, he received a [[Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal]] and an Asia Pacific Award of Entrepreneurship from the [[Asper School of Business]] at the [[University of Manitoba]].<ref>"Manitoba Movers", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 8 July 2002, B7.</ref> He was 63 years old as of 2006.<ref name="biharandjharkhand.com" />

==Political career==

Jha ran for the Manitoba legislature in the [[1999 Manitoba general election|1999 provincial election]], and lost to [[Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba|Progressive Conservative]] candidate [[John Loewen]] in the south Winnipeg division of [[Fort Whyte (Manitoba riding)|Fort Whyte]]. The New Democratic Party won a majority government across the province. After the election, Jha was appointed to the Board of the [[Manitoba Crown Corporations Council]].<ref>"Patronage denied in losing candidate's appointment", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 25 January 2000, A6. Jha received $7,500 per year for the position.</ref> He later chaired a Taxi-Cab Safety Working Group, which was convened after five Winnipeg drivers were murdered over the course of ten years. He issued a report calling for the installation of safety shields, cameras and recording devices; safety shields were made mandatory in 2002.<ref>Mia Rabson, "Cabbies want security beefed up", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 6 March 2001, A3; "Winnipeg cabbies have to install surveillance cameras or get yanked off road", ''Canadian Press'', 24 June 2002, 18:02.</ref>

Jha was elected for the northeast Winnipeg division of [[Radisson (Manitoba riding)|Radisson]] in the [[2003 Manitoba general election|2003 general election]], as the NDP won a second consecutive majority government across the province.<ref>He defeated Chad Samain to win the NDP nomination. See David O'Brien, "Race heating up in Wolseley", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 13 March 2003, A5.</ref> On November 4, 2003, he was appointed Legislative Assistant to the [[Manitoba Minister of Science, Energy and Technology|Minister of Energy, Science and Technology]]. The following year, he was named as Legislative Assistant to the [[Premier of Manitoba|Premier]].<ref>[http://ndpcaucus.mb.ca/oldCaucus/index.php?q=node/5&con=Radisson&french=&content=biography Bidhu Jha Caucus Page: Biography] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070926231253/http://ndpcaucus.mb.ca/oldCaucus/index.php?q=node%2F5&con=Radisson&french=&content=biography |date=2007-09-26 }}, New Democratic Party of Manitoba, accessed 4 September 2007.</ref> He played an active role in securing repairs for the Prendergast Community Centre,<ref>Jen Skerritt, "Funds for roof replacement put centre's fear of closure to rest", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 13 July 2005, B4.</ref> and accompanied Premier [[Gary Doer]] on a trade mission to India in 2006.<ref>"Premier of Canadian province to lead trade mission to India", The Press Trust of India Limited, 7 February 2006.</ref>

Jha broke ranks with his government in 2005 to oppose the construction of a large hog-processing facility in the Radisson division. Many of his constituents were against the project, and Jha argued that the facility should be built outside of the city.<ref>Mary Agnes Welch, "NDP MLAs break ranks, demand hog-plant delay", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 23 November 2005, A1; Bartley Kives, "A fair wind blows on Franco", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 20 January 2006, B1.</ref> In response to criticism, Premier Doer announced in 2007 that the plant would not be constructed.

Some believed that Jha's seat would be vulnerable in the [[2007 Manitoba general election|2007 provincial election]], but he was re-elected by an increased margin.<ref>"Riding to victory 12 key areas to watch this election", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 21 April 2007, A6; Mia Rabson, "Battle is fierce for NDP 'safe seat'", ''Winnipeg Free Press'', 20 May 2007, A9.</ref>
Mr. Jha has won the seat for the third time in a row in 2011

==Hacker conferences==
[[File:DEF CON 17 CTF competition.jpg|thumb|A team competing in the [[Capture the flag|CTF]] competition at [[DEF CON]] 17]]
A '''hacker conference''', also known as a '''hacker con''', is a [[Convention (meeting)|convention]] for [[hacker (computer security)|hackers]]. These serve as meeting places for [[phreak]]ers, [[hacker (computer security)|hackers]], and [[computer security|security]] professionals.

The actual events, time-spans, and details of various themes of these conventions not only depends on the specific convention attended but also its perceived reputation. Typically the actual details of any given convention are couched in mild secrecy due to the legality of certain panels, as well as the willingness of attendees to explain themselves to law enforcement and less computer-savvy individuals (see [[hacker definition controversy]]).

Common topics include [[wardriving]], [[lockpicking]], corporate and network security, personal rights and freedoms, new technologies, as well as general 'geek' motifs. Some may also have contests and general collaborative events such as [[hackathon]]s.

[[File:HackerCon Badges.jpg|thumb|right|A variety of electronic and non-electronic hacker conference badges]]
One facet of Hacker conferences that tends to differentiate many "HackerCons" from general computer security conferences, is the evolution of the conference badge. While many conferences use a fairly standard paper/plastic badge to identify attendees by name, many hacker con's have evolved to use more non-traditional badges, such as electronic PCB's with LED's, LCD screens, and can include wifi and advanced, often hidden functionality, to include games, that do not identify the individual, sometimes promoting a group identity or regional/local group affiliation. This has spurred the creation of so-called "badgelife" where different individuals and organizations (such as local hacker groups) may design, create, and sell or otherwise distribute a separate badge attendees wear in addition to their conference badge. These badges may be purchased, but some may have to be earned by completing a challenge at the conference. One of the rarest and most desirable badges is the [[DEF CON#Black Badge|DefCon Black Badge]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/vbne9a/a-history-of-badgelife-def-cons-unlikely-obsession-with-artistic-circuit-boards |title=A History of Badgelife, Def Con's Unlikely Obsession with Artistic Circuit Boards |publisher=motherboard.vice.com |access-date=2019-01-14}}</ref> While the use of the badges are traditionally associated with DefCon, their use has spread to other conferences.

The event consists of several tracks of speakers about computer- and hacking-related subjects, cyber-security challenges as well as capture the flag events.

==History==
The term CIA defines the CIA triad, a benchmark model in information security designed to govern and evaluate how an organization handles data when it is stored, transmitted, or processed. The CIA Conference (CIACON) is managed & marketed by Intersquad Cyber Intellingence Pvt. Ltd. which was founded in 2017 by Vaibhav Jha. Formally in 2018 it was organised in association with Manav Rachna by the name of National Cyber Security Conference. The chief guest of 2018 edition of the conference was Dr. Gulshan Rai, first national cyber security coordinator of India. The idea of CIA conference came to Vaibhav Jha & Arjun Chaudhary, who were doing their summer internship at '''Gurugram Police Summer Internship''' The two got talking and realised a common passion for bringing the change in the mindset of people regarding Cyber Security & Hacking. Arjun was in second year of his engineering at SRM, Delhi while Vaibhav was in the final year student at Manav Rachna International University, Faridabad.<ref>{{cite web | title = How the Co-Founders of CIA Conference aka CIACON, Vaibhav Jha & Arjun Chaudhary started their journey | publisher=Mid-day | url = https://www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/infotainment/article/mihir-sagar-the-determined-soul-and-a-self-made-man-23177064?infinite-scroll=1 |date=7 June 2021| access-date = 2021-06-09 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | title = Vaibhav Jha recognised for being the youngest Indian trainer in cyber security | publisher = Hindustan Times | url = https://www.hindustantimes.com/brand-post/vaibhav-jha-recognised-for-being-the-youngest-indian-trainer-in-cyber-security-101621425670198.html |date=19 May 2021| access-date = 2021-05-25 }}</ref>

==Events==
===Trainings===
Pre-Conference trainings are dedicated training sessions on various sub domains of information security and related topics. Historical workshops have been held on topics such as Practical Mobile App Attacks, Digital Forensics, Buffer Overflow, IOT Security.

===Villages===
Villages are a dedicated space where various domain specific security groups present their own series of events, which could be a sort of challenge, talks or any live hacking demonstrations. In the 2020 edition of CIACON, for the first time IOT Village presented their interactive hacking labs in [[India]]. Over the years IoT Village has served as a platform to showcase and uncover hundreds of new vulnerabilities, giving attendees the opportunity to learn about the most innovative techniques to both hack and secure IoT. IoT Village is organised by security consulting and research firm, Independent Security Evaluators (ISE), and the non-profit organization, Village Idiot Labs (VIL).

===CIACON CTF===
They came into the limelight after their concept of Gaming CTF Platform. CIA Conference launched Asia’s first Platform based on Unity 3D. It enables the CTF teams to play the game in real time and solve the integrated challenges. This Game Based CTF became the most unique CTF platform and was loved by many CTF players all across the globe. Traditionally CTF is being held on the web application, but CIA Conference launched the most unique concept of Computer Simulated CTF.<ref>{{cite web | title = Asia's Most Popular Cybersecurity & Hacking Events | publisher = outlook | url = https://www.outlookindia.com/website/story/outlook-spotlight-asias-most-popular-cybersecurity-hacking-events/386176 |date=25 June 2021| access-date = 2021-06-26 }}</ref>

==Hacker conferences==
[[File:DEF CON 17 CTF competition.jpg|thumb|A team competing in the [[Capture the flag|CTF]] competition at [[DEF CON]] 17]]
A '''hacker conference''', also known as a '''hacker con''', is a [[Convention (meeting)|convention]] for [[hacker (computer security)|hackers]]. These serve as meeting places for [[phreak]]ers, [[hacker (computer security)|hackers]], and [[computer security|security]] professionals.

The actual events, time-spans, and details of various themes of these conventions not only depends on the specific convention attended but also its perceived reputation. Typically the actual details of any given convention are couched in mild secrecy due to the legality of certain panels, as well as the willingness of attendees to explain themselves to law enforcement and less computer-savvy individuals (see [[hacker definition controversy]]).

Common topics include [[wardriving]], [[lockpicking]], corporate and network security, personal rights and freedoms, new technologies, as well as general 'geek' motifs. Some may also have contests and general collaborative events such as [[hackathon]]s.

[[File:HackerCon Badges.jpg|thumb|right|A variety of electronic and non-electronic hacker conference badges]]
One facet of Hacker conferences that tends to differentiate many "HackerCons" from general computer security conferences, is the evolution of the conference badge. While many conferences use a fairly standard paper/plastic badge to identify attendees by name, many hacker con's have evolved to use more non-traditional badges, such as electronic PCB's with LED's, LCD screens, and can include wifi and advanced, often hidden functionality, to include games, that do not identify the individual, sometimes promoting a group identity or regional/local group affiliation. This has spurred the creation of so-called "badgelife" where different individuals and organizations (such as local hacker groups) may design, create, and sell or otherwise distribute a separate badge attendees wear in addition to their conference badge. These badges may be purchased, but some may have to be earned by completing a challenge at the conference. One of the rarest and most desirable badges is the [[DEF CON#Black Badge|DefCon Black Badge]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/vbne9a/a-history-of-badgelife-def-cons-unlikely-obsession-with-artistic-circuit-boards |title=A History of Badgelife, Def Con's Unlikely Obsession with Artistic Circuit Boards |publisher=motherboard.vice.com |access-date=2019-01-14}}</ref> While the use of the badges are traditionally associated with DefCon, their use has spread to other conferences.

==Hacker conferences==
[[File:DEF CON 17 CTF competition.jpg|thumb|A team competing in the [[Capture the flag|CTF]] competition at [[DEF CON]] 17]]
A '''hacker conference''', also known as a '''hacker con''', is a [[Convention (meeting)|convention]] for [[hacker (computer security)|hackers]]. These serve as meeting places for [[phreak]]ers, [[hacker (computer security)|hackers]], and [[computer security|security]] professionals.

The actual events, time-spans, and details of various themes of these conventions not only depends on the specific convention attended but also its perceived reputation. Typically the actual details of any given convention are couched in mild secrecy due to the legality of certain panels, as well as the willingness of attendees to explain themselves to law enforcement and less computer-savvy individuals (see [[hacker definition controversy]]).

Common topics include [[wardriving]], [[lockpicking]], corporate and network security, personal rights and freedoms, new technologies, as well as general 'geek' motifs. Some may also have contests and general collaborative events such as [[hackathon]]s.

[[File:HackerCon Badges.jpg|thumb|right|A variety of electronic and non-electronic hacker conference badges]]
One facet of Hacker conferences that tends to differentiate many "HackerCons" from general computer security conferences, is the evolution of the conference badge. While many conferences use a fairly standard paper/plastic badge to identify attendees by name, many hacker con's have evolved to use more non-traditional badges, such as electronic PCB's with LED's, LCD screens, and can include wifi and advanced, often hidden functionality, to include games, that do not identify the individual, sometimes promoting a group identity or regional/local group affiliation. This has spurred the creation of so-called "badgelife" where different individuals and organizations (such as local hacker groups) may design, create, and sell or otherwise distribute a separate badge attendees wear in addition to their conference badge. These badges may be purchased, but some may have to be earned by completing a challenge at the conference. One of the rarest and most desirable badges is the [[DEF CON#Black Badge|DefCon Black Badge]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/vbne9a/a-history-of-badgelife-def-cons-unlikely-obsession-with-artistic-circuit-boards |title=A History of Badgelife, Def Con's Unlikely Obsession with Artistic Circuit Boards |publisher=motherboard.vice.com |access-date=2019-01-14}}</ref> While the use of the badges are traditionally associated with DefCon, their use has spread to other conferences.
