Hexcore Labs Sponsors the Global Cybersecurity Camp 2026

Hexcore Labs sponsored the Global Cybersecurity Camp (GCC) 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and trained its international cohort in Agentic AI Pentesting. We are proud to have been part of it: GCC brings together the top 50 selected students from security communities across Asia and beyond for a week of training, and Singapore is represented through Division Zero (Div0). The camp was held at the University of Science, Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City, 227 Nguyen Van Cu St., Cho Quan Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, 72722, Vietnam.

Communities and countries represented included the Security Camp Committee (Japan), Division Zero (Singapore), South Korea, the Advanced Information Security Summer School (Taiwan), 2600 Thailand (Thailand), VNSEC (Vietnam), SherpaSec (Malaysia), the InfraDigital Foundation (Indonesia), Amrita University (India), and DefCamp (Romania).

As one of the camp’s trainers, our founder and tech lead, Kar Wei, hosted “Agentic AI for Offensive Security”, an Agentic AI Pentesting Workshop for the full cohort on 5 March 2026 for four hours on Hexcore Arena. It was the second rendition of the workshop, and a long way from the n8n-powered version she ran at CYSEC Brunei 2025: this time the agent was Claude Code (and OpenCode), working through the stages of a penetration test as a sequence of tools it could reason over and call, while participants steered it in plain language and used live pentesting skills on live cloud targets.

Participants left with a working picture of what an agent can and cannot take off a tester’s hands:

  • how an agentic workflow contextualises a complex, multi-step scenario rather than answering one question at a time;
  • how to give it the right tools, workflows and skills, which is what separates a useful agent from a very good search engine;
  • where the repetitive work in a pentest sits, and how much of it can be handed over given the right guardrails.

“I was happy to hear from students that the workshop had opened their eyes to how Agentic AI could be better utilised to help with repetitive tasks, given the right workflows, tools and skills,” said Kar Wei.

Thank you to the GCC organisers, partners and students who made the week what it was, and to Division Zero for the invitation. We look forward to supporting more events like this and sharing what we learn as the technology grows.
