HACK in the HILLS

HVCKtheHills is HVCK Magazines immersive off-grid conference where curiosity, risk, and radical transparency collide. Designed for boundary pushers at the forefront of cybersecurity, privacy, OSINT, telecom, and the ever-shifting frontiers of digital culture, this is not just another industry gathering its an intentional space to challenge norms, expose the unseen, and build infrastructures of impact.
What HVCKtheHills embodies:

• Experiential Learning: get hands-on with labs, red-teaming setups, covert comms experiments, secure IoT break-outs, hardware hacking, and live adversarial AI challenges.
• Cross-Disciplinary Confluence: bring together hackers, researchers, policy thinkers, artists, journalists and builders all working where technical depth meets cultural context.
• Vulnerability & Trust: through open circles, unpanels, story sharing, and peer review, HVCKtheHills cultivates authentic connection and pushes past the polished surface.
• Edge-Driven Innovation: spotlighting projects, startups, and experiments that may still be rough around the edges but carry the potential to reshape paradigms (think: supply chain resilience, covert base-station hacking, alternative protocol design).
• Setting & Ritual: held in the hills a place away from the grind, where environment becomes catalyst and the afterparty a melting pot of beats, beers and binary.
