Join us for a deep dive into DARPA’s AI Cyber Challenge (AIxCC) with Andrew Carney, the program manager leading the charge to shape the future of autonomous cybersecurity. We’ll explore how this groundbreaking contest is pushing the limits of AI in vulnerability research, automatic patching, and cyber defense. As longtime DEF CON goons, hackers, and practitioners ourselves—Silk and Gregory —we’ll also explore the evolving relationship between DARPA and DEF CON: from the Cyber Grand Challenge to AIxCC, and how that’s changed the culture and energy of the con over the years. This episode is for hackers, engineers, AI skeptics, and anyone curious about where autonomous cybersecurity is headed—and what that means for the community that helped build this world in the first place. ⸻ 🎙️ Topics we’ll cover include: • What is AIxCC, and why does it matter? • The surprising AI approaches competitors are taking (hint: not just LLMs) • Will AI truly “defend code” or just help us do it faster? • DARPA and DEF CON’s unique cultural collision • Is DEF CON evolving… or being absorbed? • What does the future of AI-driven security look like? ⸻ 🎧 About Hacker Hangouts: Hacker Hangouts is a live-streamed podcast from two hackers who’ve been attending DEF CON for nearly 20 years, doing everything from building exploits to running media for the conference. We talk security, tech, culture, AI, and everything in between—always with a bit of caffeine and a bit of chaos. Thank you for joining and hack on!

In the hacker and infosec community--where breaking things, building tools, and leveling up often feels like "just doing your job." We'll talk about why so many pros struggle to recognize their accomplishments, even when they're shipping exploits, speaking at conferences, or running red team ops. If you've ever downplayed your own success because it didn't feel elite enough, this one's for you. Thank you for joining and hack on!
