Black Hat announced the release of its content lineup for Black Hat USA 2025. The live, in-person event will take place from August 2 to August 7 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. The event will feature over 100 Briefings hand selected by the Black Hat Review Board, over 100 Trainings, a full day of Summits, over 120 Sponsored Sessions, and over 115 Arsenal tool demos.

On August 6 and August 7, attendees will gain insight into the latest in cybersecurity risks, developments, and trends through Briefings presentations.

Briefings highlights include:

• Racing for Privilege: Leaking Privileged Memory From Any Intel System Using a Microarchitectural Race Condition - This talk will discuss Enhanced Indirect Branch Restricted Speculation (eIBRS) as a major processor manufacturer's primary defense against Branch Target Injection-style (BTI) Spectre attacks. Researchers will demonstrate an exploitation technique that allows attackers to inject branch target predictions across prediction barriers meant to invalidate all such predictions, as well as highlight how easily hardware mitigations can fall apart when integrated into a complex central processing unit (CPU) design.
• From Prompts to Pwns: Exploiting and Securing AI Agents - This talk will cover the advancement of large language models (LLMs), including the connection between the increased utility of modern LLMs and their respective attack surface. Researchers will highlight emerging security challenges posed by agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems, share what can go wrong when agentic systems vulnerable to adversarial inputs are deployed within enterprise environments, and share ways to design agent interactions in ways that mitigate risk, emphasizing a security-first foundation for safe and scalable adoption.
• Ghosts in the Machine Check - Conjuring Hardware Failures to Breach CPU Privilege Boundaries - This talk will examine how deliberately synthesized catastrophic hardware failures can be weaponized through software-only attacks. Researchers will illustrate how to carefully inject signals during privileged CPU operations to disrupt secure transitions and achieve hardware privilege escalation, as well as how to undo the damage and let the system continue as if nothing happened, but now with a foothold in privileged space.

Two- and four-day Trainings will take place from August 2 through August 5 and feature a variety of in-person and virtual courses in AI, machine learning (ML), Internet of Things (IoT), pentesting, and more.

Trainings highlights include:

• AI Cyber Bootcamp
• Practical GenAI for Threat Intel: Real-World Applications in Advanced Threat Intelligence
• Applied Hardware Attacks 1 - Embedded and IoT Systems
• IntelTechniques 2-Day OSINT Training
• Dark Wolf Solutions UAS Drone Hacking Workshop

Business Hall passes, or Business passes, are currently available for the 2025 event. The Business Hall showcases the latest products and technologies from leading cybersecurity solution providers and will take place on August 6 and August 7. Business passes provide access to the Keynotes, Main Stage presentations, Arsenal, Sponsored Sessions, Bricks & Picks, and more. A Black Hat USA 2025 Briefings, Trainings, or Business pass is required for access to the Business Hall.

This year's Black Hat Arsenal at Black Hat USA will take place from August 6 to August 7. Black Hat Arsenal brings together researchers and the cybersecurity community to showcase and demonstrate their latest open-source tools and products in a conversational environment where presenters can interact with the attendees. This year's event will feature over 115 in-person tool demos and eight labs, spanning cloud security, exploitation and ethical hacking, code assessment, and more.
