Schedule and track talks at major infosec conferences with this essential app.

Conference Planning Made Easy

Hacker Tracker is a dedicated scheduling app for the information security community, specifically tailored to large conventions like DEF CON, DerbyCon, ShmooCon, HackWest, LayerOne, and more. Designed with the attendee’s needs in mind, it keeps users updated with sessions, contests, workshops, and villages, providing all the information required to navigate busy conference schedules.

Focused and Intuitive Interface

The app features a straightforward interface, emphasizing speed and reliability. Its practical layout allows users to filter events by day, time, or conference track. Sessions can be added to a personalized agenda, making it easy to plan a day and avoid scheduling conflicts. Each event listing includes speaker details, descriptions, and location information.

Up-to-Date Event Listings

For each supported conference, Hacker Tracker offers a continuously updated schedule as new data becomes available. This means users can rely on the app for the most current information regarding talk timings, room changes, and last-minute updates. Although updates are not always automatic, new conferences and fresh data are added in response to user demand, reflecting a community-driven approach to content.

Offline Access and Data Efficiency

Recognizing the often spotty or overwhelmed network coverage at large events, Hacker Tracker works without requiring constant internet connectivity. Schedules remain accessible offline once downloaded, and bandwidth usage remains minimal. This design choice ensures attendees are never left without critical information, even in crowded vendor halls or low-signal hotels.

Customizability and Community Support

The app allows attendees to star or bookmark their must-see talks and contests, helping to build a custom itinerary. Sessions may include notes for extra context, and the clear day-by-day breakdown prevents overload. Open source at its core, the app’s development is guided by community contributions, making it responsive to evolving user needs and conference requirements.

Privacy-Conscious Design

Hacker Tracker avoids unnecessary permissions and does not track user activity—a significant plus for event goers concerned with privacy and data security.
