CSides Canberra’s 2027 dates are live! bsidescbr.com.au/pages/cside… Sorry for the extended break, room booking availability means we won’t be back until January 2027. Have a wonderful holiday break, and see everyone next year!

A huge thank you to @Synacktiv's Renaud Feil for delivering a fantastic keynote at BSides Canberra! His slides are now available, with the recording coming soon.

9th out of 209 teams. Solo. An incredible result and great to hear the no-LLM rule made the CTF feel like old-school CTFing again. Huge credit to the @sk8boardingdog crew for building such a strong competition this year.

Congrats @EmuExploit on 3rd place in the BSides Canberra CTF! A close battle right to the end. These legends donated last year’s CTF winnings to our Assistance Program, helping others get to BSides this year. Thanks for being such a great part of our community! 💙💙

That’s Day 3 of BSides Canberra 2026. Richard Buckland, @chompie1337, another huge day of talks, competitions wrapped, prizes handed out and one final announcement: BSides Canberra 2027: 23–25 September. What a week. See you next year! 💙

Day 3. Let’s go. An absolutely stacked speaker lineup today, plus the final push for both the CTF and Black Bag challenges. Three days in and we’re not slowing down yet. See you inside.
