Stands for: Hack In The Box - the deep-knowledge conference born in Kuala Lumpur
Hack In The Box - the 'deep-knowledge' security conference born in Kuala Lumpur in the early 2000s, whose stages have moved across Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
HITBSecConf made its name on technical depth - multi-track research talks, serious trainings, and its capture-the-flag heritage - and on geography: it was for years the gravitational center of the Asian security research scene, with the Amsterdam editions of the 2010s serving as its celebrated European counterpart until that chapter closed for good in 2023. The conference continues where it began and beyond, in Asia and the Middle East, keeping its founding proposition intact: research-grade content, no filler, and a stage that made clear world-class security research was never a Western monopoly.
