So we have two of those. They're limited edition and we're gonna give them out Cyber security in Bloc, General Staff, the military and General Staff in Greece, besides events in the University of Papua New Zealand and the University of South Wales in the UK. Yes, capsule the flag. For the CTF we go to track 2, sorry, to track 3, the room next to us. You can go play with your laptops. We're gonna have two terminals there. If you don't have a laptop, you can still go there. Sit down in one of the

terminals and play and try to hack it. It's a unification of a CTM. So you need... There is a scenario and everything. So the guy who lets you know it's gonna be really fun. It's from the ethical. It's educational. It's from the ethical point of view. So you're the security professional and you have been given permission and were asked to help by hacking a smart safe. There's a whole scenario behind it. So it's really cool. And you have the price. The treasure hunt, this is the URL for the treasure hunt. It's something that everybody can do. It does need to know a few things about info security basically. If you don't know the answers, Google is your friend. So

if you can't find the answer, basically you can... We asked you though, we did a lot of... We made an effort to gather some money and to give people access to it. by donating some money for the Smile of the Giant, one of the most well-known charities in Greece and in Europe in general. We managed to gather €150, which is really good. Thank you for the support. We have a few ideas and next year we are going to raise a lot more money for the charity. And this is an announcement, this is a surprise for this year. What we did, we wanted to get involved. So, Greece is a small country and we cannot have a B-Size in every city in Greece.

So what we can do, what we thought about is to build a framework of HackSpaces. So what we did, we bought HackSpace.gr, we're going to give a lot of information, we're going to give tutorials, we're going to give webinars, we're going to give everything, all of the opportunity to learn about to learn about hardware hacking, to learn about programming. So they can join, they can make their own hack space, they can make their own domain, some domain, have their own presence on the internet, people together from all over Greece, Cyprus, everywhere, any person can join. Everyone wants to create a hack space, we give them all the information, play and basically Google, a young age or 90 years old, you see

the hack insights are really bringing to programming. We'll talk about it in more detail at the end. Thank you all for being here. We would like to thank you for supporting this initiative to bring this event in Athens. I think thank you to our volunteers because this is a community sponsored event so everybody is a volunteer basically. Our appreciation to our speakers who have travelled from all over the world to be here. Our sponsors obviously for supporting this wouldn't be able to rank this place if they weren't for them. So please go in the booths. Some sponsors are not there yet, but some of them are. They're gonna be there by the time to... Please visit the booths, learn
