19th USENIX WOOT Conference on Offensive Technologies
The 19th USENIX WOOT Conference on Offensive Technologies (WOOT '25) will take place on August 11–12, 2025, at the Seattle Convention Center in Seattle, WA, USA.
The USENIX WOOT Conference on Offensive Technologies brings together both academics and practitioners in the field of offensive security research. Occurring annually since 2007, when it was first founded as the Workshop on Offensive Technologies, WOOT has become the top venue for collaboration between academia, independent hackers, and industry participants on offensive research. As offensive security has changed over the years to become a large-scale operation managed by well-capitalized actors, WOOT has consistently attracted a range of high-quality, peer-reviewed work from academia and industry on novel attacks, state-of-the-art tools, and offensive techniques.
Interested in participating? View the Call for Lightning Talks, Demos, and Posters. Submissions are due Tuesday, July 15, 2025.
