The Hackers’ Almanack is the first-of-its kind report published by Franklin, compiling the most interesting, impactful, and innovative research identified at DEF CON. Just as Benjamin Franklin penned Poor Richard’s Almanack, Project Franklin released the first Hackers’ Almanack in February 2025. The Almanack includes novel talks, vulnerability discoveries, and experiments from the most recent DEF CON summit. By bringing evidence-backed, empirically researched findings to policymakers, the Almanack amplifies the technology community’s impact on policy makers in the global digital world.
