Welcome to the 2023 H@ck3r Runway landing page.
We returned to Defcon 31 for the 5th time last year and it was a hoot. Hack3r Runw@y continued to bring out all the chic geeks out there. It encouraged rethinking fashion in the eyes of hackers/pentesters. There were smartwear, LED additions, obfuscation, cosplay or just everyday wear using fabrics and textures that are familiar to the community. There were a surprising amount of on-the-spot entries that left with prizes. Contestants could enter clothing, shoes, jewelry, hats or accessories. If it was wearable, it was perfect for the runway. For convenience, contestants entered the contest with designs made ahead of the conference, however it needed to be made by them and not just store bought. This year @yellowsubtab lost the People's Choice trophy to a new, winner Kelly who presented us with a convertible cocktail dress with faraday lining.
