zero days or exploits.

  - Desi Jugaad (30 mins - 1 hr) - is our signature new research
category talk and includes any local hacks. This category is dedicated
to hackers who find innovative tech/non-tech solutions for real-life
challenges.

  - Current Research Category (30 mins - 1 hr) - comprises of known
security issues, case studies, twist to an existing research, tool,
vulnerability, exploit or research-in-progress. Although this track is
fairly technical, it covers known techniques, analysis and research
already published or presented even though there might be some
additions to it.

  - Tool Category (30 mins - 1 hr) - Comprises of open source security
tools, exploits, frameworks etc. This is an excellent opportunity for

of insufficient information available in the abstract.

Note
====
  - Only the original authors should submit their research and any
submission from a third party will be rejected.
  - The Abstract should clearly mention the techniques and hacks in
detail and merely mentioning that it works will not help in
understanding the research to its full extent.
  - Be as descriptive as possible in the abstract.
  - Attach your source code/exploit/full paper along with the submission
  - nullcon is an open knowledge/research sharing platform and hence
product/company marketing and pitches will be rejected. We request you
