DEF CON (also written as DEFCON, Defcon or DC) is a hacker convention held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada. The first DEF CON took place in June 1993 and today many attendees at DEF CON include computer security professionals, journalists, lawyers, federal government employees, security researchers, students, and hackers with a general interest in software, computer architecture, hardware modification, conference badges, and anything else that can be "hacked". The event consists of several tracks of speakers about computer- and hacking-related subjects, as well as cyber-security challenges and competitions (known as hacking wargames). Contests held during the event are extremely varied and can range from creating the longest Wi-Fi connection to finding the most effective way to cool a beer in the Nevada heat.[2]
CCTV systems have "blind spots" where detection confidence is lower due to factors like angle and distance. This talk explores a novel issue with object detection: location-based confidence weakness. We show how a pedestrian’s position impacts detection confidence and analyze this across four lighting conditions and five object detectors (YOLOv3, Faster R-CNN, SSD, DiffusionDet, RTMDet). Footage from Broadway, Shibuya Crossing, and Castro Street reveals consistent blind spots. We introduce TipToe, an evasion attack that exploits these blind spots to create a minimum-confidence path, reducing detection confidence by up to 0.16 in Shibuya Crossing with YOLOv3 and similar results elsewhere.
