• HackFest FunFest - The days will be filled with the latest and greatest in Offensive Operations and Purple Teaming, but the fun goes up another level at night. Enjoy food and drinks, then choose your own adventure: play the Offensive Operations CTF, get into IoT hacking, get nostalgic with classic video games, and more!
• Hackable Badges – Do you like challenges?  Do you like winning prizes? Do you like Summits? This year your badge isn't just the way to gain entry to the Summit. It also features a secret challenge. The first to win the challenge receives the "SANS Summit Black Badge", awarding you free entry for all Summits. Others that beat the challenge will be entered into a raffle for other HackFest prizes.
• Offensive Ops CTF - This year will highlight the large variety of offensive skills taught across multiple courses in the Offensive Operations curriculum. Test your skills against challenges based on network penetration testing, web, and binary exploitation as well as programming and forensics challenges.

• Lock Pick Challenge - Take your shot at unlocking your chance to win prizes! We will have a lock picking booth set up for you to experiment and learn how to pick locks of different levels of difficulty. Representatives from Augusta Locksports will be there to help spread the knowledge of how important physical security is for personal use, as a first layer of cyber-security training, and as a hobby to puzzle-loving enthusiasts.
