It is a unique event, where we can see how information security is created and who is who in the area. And it’s the place where binary, digital world of hackers meets with physical world. The forum has realistic contests, such as CTF, Critical Infrastructure Attack and the contest where participants are dealing with vulnerabilities of a “smart home".

PHDays proved – cyberwars are real, and we are trying to prepare ourselves to it, just like all other countries. However, not all threats are taken seriously, at least in business. There are problems on the state level also: legislation framework improvements fail to keep up with the times. Professionals must declare their initiatives for all to hear.

It’s a very good experience. PHDays is tremendously creative. It is a fantastic atmosphere. The programme is very versatile - a mixture of unique competitions, interesting conferences, and opportunities to meet.. And it’s a lot of people. I did not expect that many!

Very impressive. It was a pleasure to see all these great researchers who presented here. Industry stakeholders must definitely come at PHDays to catch up with the new trends and create new contacts.

PHDays gives talented teams momentum for innovations development and for finding their way in entrepreneurship, in the “white hat” community.

Конкурс Hash Runner был трудный, но суперский, мы смогли протестировать экспериментальный код John the Ripper и определить направление для дальнейшего совершенствования.

PHDays is different from any conference I’ve ever been to. It’s incredibly well organized, the program is very technical and the CTF visualization was very cool.

Various talks, contests and Capture The Flag or just hanging around with old or new friends - that all made two days be fun as much as possible.

Au final, on note une très bonne organisation de la conférence avec plein de tournois annexes, dont le fameux “Too drunk to hack” dans lequel un de nos ingénieurs finira en deuxième position.
