Sick Codes has dazzled Hacker Summer Camp and the world for the last few years. His last several years of research and engagement with the food supply and it's vulnerable equipment extends beyond tractors. He will share some of what he has found, how others can get involved, and some of the increasing risks and stakes for the food we put on our table. Casey J. Ellis will add his perspective concerning vulnerabilities of the delicate food supply chain.


Sick Codes has dazzled Hacker Summer Camp and the world for the last few years. His last several years of research and engagement with the food supply and it's vulnerable equipment extends beyond tractors. He will share some of what he has found, how others can get involved, and some of the increasing risks and stakes for the food we put on our table. This hacker perspective will feed into the subsequent session that will further cultivate the risks to the larger food supply ecosystem.

Sick Codes is an Australian hacker, who resides somewhere in Asia: I love 0days, emulation, open source, reverse engineering, standing up for other researchers & fast motorbikes. I have worked on many interesting projects over the last few years including hacking & emulating TV’s, cars, tractors, watches, ice cream machines, and more. My heart lies with Free Software but I like to go where no researcher has gone before. My works include Docker-OSX, which regularly trends on GitHub with 22k+ stars, 250k+ downloads. I’ve spoken 2x at DEF CON, published 20+ CVEs, competed in CTFs, and I’m here to stay.

Casey is the Founder, Chairman, and CTO of Bugcrowd. He is a 20 year veteran of information security, servicing clients ranging from startups to multinational corporations as a pentester, security and risk consultant and solutions architect, then most recently as a career entrepreneur. Casey pioneered the Crowdsourced Security as a Service model launching the first bug bounty programs on the Bugcrowd platform in 2012, and co-founded the https://disclose.io vulnerability disclosure standardization project in 2016. A proud ex-pat of Sydney Australia, Casey lives with his wife and two kids in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is happy as long as he’s passionately pursuing potential.
