Botconf is an international technical and scientific conference aiming at bringing together academic, industrial, law enforcement and independent researchers working on issues related to the fight against botnets and malware ecosystems.

The first day (Tuesday) is dedicated to delivering workshops in front of a smaller audience. The next three days are the main conference with 25 presentation slots ranging from 20 to 50 minutes, and a lightning talk session (3 minute talks proposed on site by the participants).

NEW: A Sprint CFP will be open in March 2026 for last minute proposals for 2 or 3 talks (more details will be published later).

Some presentations are accompanied by the publication of a scientific paper with our partner open journal, "The journal on cybercrime & digital investigations", edited by the CECyF, the French cybercrime centre of excellence.
