HWSec101 - April 23

On Wednesday the 23rd of April 2025 at 20h, Stellar Vector will organize HWSec101, in which we’ll introduce you in the world of hardware security.

You will get some info on the field of hardware security from experts from COSIC and then you’ll be able to dive in and get some practical experience with the introduced attacks on a real hardware device. There will be challenges for beginners and also some extra tasks for more experienced participants.

You don’t need any experience in hardware security in order to participate, we are all there to learn! Joining is free, but registration is required. Please do so using this form. Spaces are limited due to limited hardware availability, so sign up quickly

Home

Welcome to the virtual home of Stellar Vector, a primarily academic CTF team associated with KU Leuven, located in the beautiful town of Leuven (coincidentally also the home of the Stella beer). Stellar Vector is the reboot of HacknamStyle, which was the reboot of a CTF team by the name of: The Electronic Mayhem. Just to say that we’ve been participating in CTFs for well over a decade. We welcome current and former students (bachelor, master, PhD) and any hacking aficionados located in Belgium, regardless of the level of expertise or experience. We intend to participate in CTFs approximately on a monthly basis, and organize events to further improve (y)our hacking skills.
