Our TSCM competitive “Bug-Off” is an excellent way to network and learn from other like-minded professional TSCM operators while participating in a mildly entertaining and competitive practical component of the conference agenda.

Our previous competitive “Bug-Off” events have all been outstanding and successful, and have provided an excellent opportunity for a light-hearted competitive sprit during the conference.

Participating in our first ever, all day competitive “Bug-Off” is perhaps an excellent way to learn, explore and extend your professional networking opportunities and gain valuable knowledge from other TSCM practitioners.

Our TSCM “Bug-Off” provides a light-hearted competition as well as the opportunity to evaluate professional TSCM equipment resources provided.

The “Bug-Off” is open to all conference participants for a chance to win prizes and recognition during the Dinner & Awards night.

Participants will be provided with an assignment form to be completed and submitted to the conference “Bug-Off” committee for review.

The 1st prize winner will have identified the largest number of high-quality technical threats and vulnerabilities within the time frame provided and within specific criteria. The 2nd and 3rd prize winners follow in order.

TSCM operators may bring there own equipment resources and utilize whatever equipment they would normally use on the job, or have the opportunity to utilize equipment resources provided by the TSB and exhibitors.

Prizes, Awards, Peer Recognition, and Bragging Rights are just a few of the benefits for participants of our 16th TSCM “Bug-off”.

The TSB “Office of Evil Intent” is eagerly looking forward to the new all-day format and will surely confound and confuse the brave few that are prepared to accept the ultimate challenge.

As usual the “Office of Evil Intent” (aka Andrzej Wolczanski and Paul D Turner) will be designing a challenging experience for all those who dare to choose to participant in this year’s competitive event.

Remember, who dares, wins!

Participate in our cordless telephone Challenge as part of the competitive “Bug-Off” event for CTSC 2025, designed to both challenge and educate. Test your technical skill and analytical approach to threat signal identification and gain better insight and understanding of a modern ambient RF spectrum environment.

This is an excellent opportunity and provides the participant with a better understanding of the complexities of the various signal types by examining and analyzing real-world and simulated signal events across a wide Range of Interest (ROI) on modern high-speed Software Defined Radio (SDR) hardware. You can even give your “Bug-Off” standing a boost this year, by participating in the Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) wireless Challenge”.
