WOOT '27 | USENIX

The 21st USENIX WOOT Conference on Offensive Technologies (WOOT '27) will take place on August 9–10, 2027, and is co-located with the 36th USENIX Security Symposium in Denver, CO, USA.
WOOT brings together both academics and practitioners in the field of offensive security research. Occurring annually since 2007, when it was first founded as the Workshop on Offensive Technologies, WOOT has become the top venue for collaboration between academia, independent hackers, and industry participants on offensive research. As offensive security has changed over the years to become a large-scale operation managed by well-capitalized actors, WOOT has consistently attracted a range of high-quality, peer-reviewed work from academia and industry on novel attacks, state-of-the-art tools, and offensive techniques.
Interested in participating? Cycle 1 paper submissions are due Thursday, December 17, 2026. View the Call for Papers for more information.
