At the Biohacking Village, we're all about pushing the boundaries of healthcare by exploring medical device development, cybersecurity, biotechnology and even citizen science. We stay closely connected to what's happening in the healthcare world so we can spot new opportunities to work together and improve patient care and safety. Whether it's making medical devices safer or supporting new ideas in healthcare, we're here to make a real difference for everyone involved.

Our Story

August 8-10, 2025

DEF CON 33

Las Vegas, NV

Think of the Biohacking Village at DEF CON as a pop-up hospital lab dropped into the world’s most hostile public network. We invite manufacturers to place real medical devices into this high-stakes environment and hand the keys to ethical hackers, clinicians, and regulators. Vulnerabilities are discovered, verified, and reported in real time. The result: stronger products and a more secure, resilient healthcare system. With a Capture the Flag challenge, tabletop exercises, hands-on workshops, and expert speakers, the Village is a full-spectrum hacker playground where critical conversations and impactful research thrive.

We are a diverse team with different professional backgrounds and life experiences working together toward one shared goal: to create a safer landscape for patient care and patient safety.

The most effective way to address the real vulnerabilities in our healthcare system is through partnership and collaboration across all sectors. Let’s work together to create a safer, more secure future for patient care—where cybersecurity is a strength, not a weakness. We can't do this alone. Whether it’s through sponsorship, speaking at conferences, joining CTF challenges, leading workshops, or simply volunteering your time, there are so many ways to make a difference.
