About OrangeHat
OrangeHat brings together students, faculty, researchers, and industry practitioners for two days of talks, hands-on workshops, and a capture-the-flag competition covering the full spectrum of modern security — from offensive research and incident response to privacy, policy, and secure software.
The conference is organized by DAMSEC and WiCyS@OSU, Oregon State University's two student security clubs. Student registration is free, and all sessions are open to the public.
