Awesome way to get some RTV gear and support our efforts. All funds support us putting on more events such as Cron and Overflow, and provide the ability to attend events such as Hack Space Con, DEF CON, BSides NYC, and others.
Extra perk: no logos on merch bought from the store!

Don’t just jailbreak an LLM. Weaponize it.
At RTV Overflow, Alex Bernier & Brent Harrel move beyond one-off prompt hacks and show how LLM attacks fit into real Red Team operations.
From direct and indirect prompt injection to turning access into enumeration, lateral movement, and privilege escalation, this session connects AI attacks to real-world objectives.
High-level theory. Real operational examples. Practical AI tradecraft.
