About this tag
DEF CON is a major cybersecurity conference where researchers present cutting-edge vulnerabilities and attack techniques. On WindowsForum.com, discussions cover exploits revealed at DEF CON, including LDAPNightmare, a zero-click denial-of-service attack on Windows Domain Controllers (CVE-2024-49113), and historical demonstrations like a paid hacker bypassing DEP and ASLR to exploit Internet Explorer 8 on Windows 7 in minutes.
