■ CODE BLUE 2023 Contests /  Workshops 

● "Cyber TAMAGO :Share cybersecurity tools and ideas."

Organizer:Cyber TAMAGO

Date     : 8th Nov. 2023 10:00-17:00

Venue  : Room 402

Cyber TAMAGO was initiated with the desire to gather tools and tool ideas related to cybersecurity, exchange"likes", and introduce Japanese cybersecurity talents to global tool presentation events such as BlackHat ARSENAL and CODEBLUE BlueBox. It's for those who have an idea but haven't turned it into a tool, those who have created a tool but haven't shared it, and those who have made their source code public on Github but have never presented it. We aim to bring such "TAMAGO"(meaning "eggs" or "newbies") into the spotlight. 


We will host panel discussions with peers focused on similar tools, where tools are introduced, and mutual discussions about each other's tools are conducted. Centered on ideas, participants will bring their expertise for hackathons and plan collaborations.

Organizer:Car Hacking Village

Date     :8th - 9th Nov. 2023

■About CODE BLUE 2023

CODE BLUE is an international cybersecurity conference where top class experts from Japan and the world gather. Celebrating its 11th year, the conference provides state-of-the-art lectures by cybersecurity experts and opportunities for information exchange and interaction that transcend national and language barriers.


By bringing together the world's top-level experts active in a variety of fields, we aim to revitalize and strengthen cooperation of cybersecurity in Asia and foster excellent young researchers in Japan and Asia.


Due to the spread of coronavirus infection, the conference was held online in 2020, as hybrid event in 2021 and 2022, but this year it will be held as an in-person event at Akasaka Intercity AIR this year*. We also hold a networking party to interact with many industry people.(*This year, we will hold the conference in-person, and will not be streaming online.)
