# EFF Anniversary Minicon
### July 16, 2015 - 12:00pm to 4:00pm
### DNA Lounge | San Francisco

As part of our 25th anniversary celebration, EFF is hosting a minicon that will include a
security training, a capture-the-flag event, and a series of panels discussing the future
of EFF issues in security, copyright and user control and online activism and speech.
Tickets for the minicon, which runs from 12-4pm in the DNA Lounge, can be purchased
separately or as a package with party tickets directly from DNA Lounge.

## Security Training

EFF Activist Nadia Kayyali will be on hand to provide practical privacy and security tips
from 12:30-3, based on EFF's Surveillance Self-Defense project. Attendees will have
two opportunities to go through threat modeling, with time for more hands-on tools and
techniques discussions with Nadia and other EFF staff.

## Capture The Flag

Throughout the minicon, we will be hosting our first ever "Capture the Flag"
hacking contest! Anyone present at the minicon will be eligible to participate in our 4
hour contest. The challenges will include web hacking, binary analysis, cryptography
challenges, and more. Top competitors will receive special prizes! Participants should
bring a laptop with linux or a virtual machine installed.
