Initiated in 2003 by a crew of people, who got together under the name of “HackerzVoice” and inspired by the famous and biggest US hacking event named “DEFCON”. “La nuit du hack” is one of the oldest French underground hackers’ event which bring together, professionals and amateurs of any skill level, around lectures and challenges. Regardless of their skill, guests come to see and talk about the latest advances in IT Security to assess and/or improve their level. To improve quality and accessibility of this event, the 2010 edition hosted many English-speaking conferences and workshops.

Started with 20 persons, the event never stopped growing up by gathering more and more people from amateurs to the professionals. In 2011, it saw several international renowned speakers and gripped more than 950 guests including more than 50 challengers. During this edition we had the privilege to host world-famous speakers.
