 Welcome to Aduhisi Village at Defcon 29. My name is Abhijit and the founder and organizer of Aduhisi Village at Defcon Confined this year. So what is Aduhisi Village? So just to give a quick intro about Aduhisi Village. So we are a community with pure focus onto Aduhisi simulation, emulation, Aduhisi tactics, Aduhisi life, Aduhisi stories, Aduhisi philosophy, urban survival skills and a bit of poverty. So I would say there is no globally agreed standard definition for Aduhisi simulation or emulation. So we are all approaching this concept in a different manner, right? We are approaching them in a different manner every time, right? So I hate Aduhisi simulation, emulation or draft emulation. They are basically the same concept but I mentioned before they are being approached in a different way. So that's how people or organizations are defining them based on how they approach these concepts. Unlike a full scope routine engagement, Aduhisi simulation is a bit different. So the simulation exercises, they always focus on mimicking the actions of a well-known Aduhisi or well-known threat actor or tactics of an Aduhisi, right? So that is the basic element of Aduhisi emulation or Aduhisi simulation. Aduhisi simulation could be a continuous process. It would help organizations to deal with an actual attack or a threat actor in a good manner, right? So I would do one thing. I could compare Aduhisi simulation to martial art. Let's say karate for an example. So what is the purpose of a martial art? So that would strengthen your body, that would strengthen your mind in a continuous process, right? Finally, you get into a tournament or you get into a real life, maybe a street fight. So you could defend yourself in a pretty good manner, right? So if you are getting into a tournament, you can also attack your opponent, right? So that's the purpose of a martial art. So I would compare Aduhisi simulation exercises to a martial art. As I mentioned before, when you get into a martial art, the very first thing, you don't get to fight your opponent on your first day at Aduhisi or on a karate Aduhisi, right? So you get to the master will teach you how to take a fall, you know, how to fall on your back, how to fall on your feet, right? The very next thing would be they will teach you hardening exercises, how to harden your body, right? Then there would be attack moments. So they will teach you how to punch someone, they will teach you how to block your opponent's attacks, stuff like that. Different karate moves are there, hundreds of karate moves are there, right? Once that is done, then there would be a sequence of karate attacks. They would call us, call it as katas, right? Here, we could compare the Aduhisi tactics as karate movement and the combination of karate movements, which is a kata, can be compared as attack simulation scenario, right? We know that different type of Aduhisi tactics form together to create an attack scenario, right? So let's take an example of what happens after you learn the karate movements and karate kata or scenarios. You get to fight with someone, right? So you will be getting a sparring opponent, a sparring friend. Maybe someone from the same dojo, some of your friends or a colleague. So you get to try out all these attack movements against your opponent, your sparring partner. So in that way, you can fine tune all of your attack tactics. Let's say your attack movements, you know, then you get to better yourself, right? You get to better your attack tactics or different tactics, right? Let's say the karate tournament is there. So what about karate tournament or kumite? So you could mention that as compared that to threat intel, power, Aduhisi, Aduhisi. How is that? That means we know, I mean, when he's going to be a tournament or who is going to be your opponent, right? So you get to fight against that, you get to fight against that person. In that case, you get to train to defend that person, right? Or you get to train yourself to perform better the tournament, right? So then take an example of a street fight or you are getting into a real or someone is trying to attack you on the street or something, right? So you could compare that with an actual routine engagement. If an organization is getting into a street fight without having proper defenses, without having proper attack tactics or different tactics, right? That organization going to get bullied pretty hard, right? That is on-site of it. So in that case, if the organizations are trained well using Aduhisi simulations, you know, trying to get, you know, the betterment of their different mechanisms, when they get into a street fight, they can defend themselves pretty easily. And maybe if they are trying to fall back or fall on their backs, they can come up pretty easily, right? So this would be a perfect example to explain Aduhisi simulation, right? So let's just say karate or any other martial art, jujitsu or boxing. When it comes to self-defense, they are all going towards a certain goal, right? Similar to that, adversary emulation or simulation or threat emulation, they are all going towards the same goal, right? The betterment of cyber-defense systems and, you know, betterment of new adversary tactics or TTPs, right? So that would be a perfect example to explain Aduhisi simulation to someone in an easy scenario, with an easy scenario, right? Finally, the goal of Aduhisi Village would be to build a strong community of researchers and organizations who are put into the new means and methodologies towards Aduhisi simulation or Aduhisi simulation tactics. Here, our community, Aduhisi Village can be considered as a character dojo, where all the offensive secret researchers or Aduhisi could come in, share their knowledge, collaborate on different projects and, you know, sharpen their Aduhisi tactics or TTPs. So that is our goal of Aduhisi Village. Then now we can go back to the agenda of Aduhisi Village this year. We are totally virtual at deaf content and there are going to be 24 talks, four different workshops, three panel discussions and an awesome CTF named Aduhisi Revolves. And our schedule is going to be starting from August 6-7-8 and the timing is going to be 10 am from morning to 8 in the night. Just take a note that our timing is based on PDT time zone.
