Positive Hack Days VI, the international forum on practical information 
security, opens Call for Papers. Our international program committee 
consisting of very competent and experienced experts will consider every 
application, whether from a novice or a recognized expert in information 
security, and select the best proposals.

Now, more than ever before, cybersecurity specialists are being asked to 
stop sitting on the fence and choose a side — competitive intelligence vs 
DLP systems; security system developers vs targeted cyberattacks; 
cryptographers vs reverse engineers; hackers vs security operations 
centers. A new concept of PHDays VI is designed to show what the current 
vibe is in information security.

We want researchers to speak about the real dangerous threats and possible 
consequences. We also expect developers and integrators to give real 
answers to these threats rather than to talk about empowering security 
technologies. Come and share your experience at PHDays VI in Moscow, May 
17 and 18, 2016.

Your topic can revolve around any modern infosec field: new targeted 
attacks against SCADA, new threats to medical equipment, vulnerabilities 
of online government services, unusual techniques to protect mobile apps, 
antisocial engineering in social networks, or what psychological 
constitution SOC experts have. In addition, this year, we are planning to 
discuss IS software design, development tools, and SSDL principles.

Our key criteria is that your research should be unique and offer a fresh 
perspective on hacking, modern information technologies, and the role they 
play in our lives.

If you have something interesting or surprising to share, but none of the 
formats are suitable for your participation, please apply anyway and be 
sure we will consider your work.

The first stage of CFP ends on January 31, 2016. Apply now — the number of 
final reports is limited.

In 2015, the forum brought together 3,500 participants. In 2016, it is 
expected to see 4,000 attendees: information security leaders, CIO and 
CISO of the world's largest companies, top managers of giant banks, 
industrial and oil and gas producing enterprises, telecoms, and IT 
vendors, representatives from different government departments.

Positive Hack Days featured a variety of distinguished participants 
including Bruce Schneier (the legendary cryptography expert), Whitfield 
Diffie (one of the inventors of asymmetric cryptography), Mohd Noor Amin 
(IMPACT, UN), Natalya Kasperskaya (CEO of InfoWatch), Travis Goodspeed (a 
reverse engineer and wireless enthusiast from the U.S.), Tao Wan (the 
founder of China Eagle Union), Nick Galbreath (Vice-President of IPONWEB), 
Mushtaq Ahmed (Emirates Airline), Marc Heuse (the developer of Hydra, 
Amap, and THC-IPV6), Karsten Nohl (a specialist in GSM engineering), 
Donato Ferrante and Luigi Auriemma (famous SCADA experts from Italy), and 
Alexander Peslyak (the creator of the password cracking tool John the 
Ripper).
