Experience Hands-On Innovation in the RSAC™ Sandbox
Connect, unwind, and dive into cutting-edge cybersecurity innovations at this ultimate hub. You will have the opportunity to learn by doing with hands-on experiences that range from capture the flag and an escape room to the DARPA AIxCC Experience, featuring a fictional city where you can deepen your understanding about the stakes of advancing AI-driven cybersecurity. As you explore and play in the RSAC™ Sandbox, look for our many volunteers ready to answer your questions and provide a guided tour or opportunity to test your skills.
AI Sandbox
Brought by AI Village
The AI Village is a community of hackers and data scientists working to educate the world on the use and abuse of artificial intelligence in security and privacy. We aim to bring more diverse viewpoints to this field and grow the community of hackers, engineers, researchers, and policy makers working on making the AI we use and create safer.
Adversary Sandbox
Brought by Adversary Village
Adversary Village is a community initiative focused on adversary simulation, offensive cybersecurity tradecraft, and purple teaming. The sandbox will feature talks, live demos, gamified table-top exercises, adversary and ransomware simulator, guided breach simulation, panels, and other hands-on activities.
AppSec Sandbox
Brought by AppSec Village
Software runs the world. Everything from IoT, medical devices, the power grid, smart cars, and everyday apps has software behind it. Join AppSec Village to learn from the best of the best on exploiting software vulnerabilities and securing the software that is the foundation of our dynamic world.
Cloud Sandbox
Brought by Cloud Village
Cloud Village is an open space to meet folks interested in offensive and defensive aspects of cloud security. We organize events aimed at enhancing the Cloud Security skillset of the attendees.
DARPA AIxCC Experience
The DARPA AIxCC Experience is an immersive journey that transports you from the bustling RSAC™ 2025 to Northbridge, a fictional city designed to showcase the importance of AI-driven cybersecurity in protecting our critical infrastructure.
ICS Sandbox
Brought by ICS Village
ICS Village raises awareness and provides education, training, and resources for securing industrial control systems (ICS) to protect critical infrastructure from cyber threats. Join the ICS Village team and experience hands-on threat detection exercises for control systems and outstanding training content.
ICScape Pandemonium
Brought by Idaho National Lab
Imagine a space where pandemonium ensued after a hostile takeover when ex-employees left a mess. They hid PLC components, scrambled the ladder logic, defaced the human machine interface (HMI), and shut off power to the control system. It is your job to create order out of havoc and get things working again.
IoT Sandbox
Brought by IoT Village
(Independent Security Evaluators)
IoT Village advocates for advancing security in the Internet of Things (IoT) industry by bringing researchers and industry together through interactive labs, talks, and competitive hacking contests. Brought to you by Independent Security Evaluators (ISE), a security consulting and research firm.
Physical Security Sandbox
Brought by Physical Security Village
The Physical Security Village explores the world of door hardware bypasses and techniques generally outside of the realm of cybersecurity, and lockpicking. Come learn some of these lock bypasses, how to fix them, and have the opportunity to try them out for yourself.
picoCTF @ RSAC
picoCTF @ RSACTM 2025 gamifies cybersecurity education by providing a safe and unique hands-on experience. Challenges are presented in a graduated on-ramp of puzzles where participants learn to reverse engineer, break, hack, decrypt, and think critically to capture the flags.
