Ekoparty
loreeventshacking
Stands for: Ekoparty - Latin America's biggest hacking conference (Buenos Aires, since 2001)
Latin America's biggest hacking conference: Buenos Aires, every year since 2001, where the region's security community - and more than a few world-class vulnerabilities - come out on stage.
Founded in 2001 by five Argentine hackers, Ekoparty grew from a small local gathering into the continent's meeting point: 10,000-plus attendees, villages, wargames, lockpicking, wardriving heritage, and a week of trainings around the core days (the 22nd edition runs at the Centro de Convenciones de Buenos Aires in 2026). Its stage has world stature - the BEAST TLS attack was unveiled at Ekoparty 2011, CRIME followed there in 2012 - proof that first-rank offensive research speaks Spanish and Portuguese too. For Latin American researchers, an Ekoparty talk is the hometown equivalent of a Vegas main stage.
