Since the CTF was online this year, Norsecode created a state-sponsored venue in Stockholm where the team could meet and hack together to create the DefCon-feel. It was the first time Norsecode participated and we learned a lot about how A&D CTFs against the best in the world work. You will learn about our experience at the venue and the lessons we learned.

This is the story of Cable Haunt and how we discovered vulnerabilities in 100 of million of modems world wide. The exploit we will present, allows a remote attacker to gain kernel level control of Broadcom based cable modems, effectively taking full control of big parts of the western world internet connections. Once control has been achieved by an attacker, it can be abused in many ways. Some examples are:
- Conduct remote man-in-the-middle attacks
- Hot-swap code or even …
