“Show us how secure (or insecure) IP-enabled embedded systems are,” a description of the new village reads. “Routers, network storage systems, cameras, HVAC systems, refrigerators, medical devices, smart cars, smart home technology, and TVs — if it is IP-enabled, we’re interested.”

Def Con 23 August 6-9 at Paris & Bally’s in Las Vegas!
The call for papers is open until May 26, 2015.
This should be a real hoot!
Enjoy!
