Exploit Hackathon
Exploit Hackathon
Who this is for:
You think you got skills; mad coding skills.
You hack together solutions at the speed of a keystroke.
You want to put your code up against the best the InfoSec scene has to offer.
What Happens:
You will be given the challenge to code a new exploitation utility for release
during Defcon. There will be some guidelines and a time limit.
Right now we are intending this to be a one day (Sat) 8-12 hour event.
We have been asked to reconsider this to stretch multiple days and it is being considered.
The Code:
All code submitted during the contest will be released as FOSS under a BSD License.
The BSD license grants the most amount of freedom in the use of the code and we
will be contributing it all back to the community.
You should be comfortable submitting code into GitHub as that is the mechanic we are likely to employ.
Why Here:
Defcon is the largest hacker conference in the world.
As such it draws some of the best coders amateurs, professional, hackers,
many of whom travel thousands of miles to participate. Where better to test your
mettle?
The Judges:
I have reached out to friends and contacts to assemble a panel of InfoSec leaders
and professionals with the goal of establishing a peer level second to none.
As of this time I am proud to announce the following have accepted my invitation:
Dan Kaminsky
Dave Marcus
Meredith L. Patterson
I am honored to have them participate.
If you do not know who at least two of these names of the top of your head,
you are entering the wrong contest. Google them or GTFO.
The Rewards:
Be Judged by The Exploit HackaThon Panel (It's an Honor.)
WE HAVE A PWN PLUG!!!
Pwnie Express has committed to generously donate one of their floor models to be awarded.
This is some cool tech and the winning team will take it home
Check out their site: www.pwnieexpress.com
This IS NOT a Black Badge event at this time.
We Have been told if there is enough interest and participation we could be considered
to have one awarded. So this may change based on YOU.
Who am I:
I am Chosen1.
A Hacker for 20 years, DefCon Goon for 10.
More information will be coming so check back here for updates
