decepticon_eazy_e Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I was wondering what Hacking Competitions are out there and information towards that Defcon hosts a few, the biggest would be Capture the Flag. I thought they did something similar at shmoocon. I think the government sponsors one too, probably DARPA. There's plenty out there, pretty much every major con will have one, defcon, blackhat, etc. Google for capture the flag results and see walk troughs and results, you'll see how they are organized.

Seshan Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Yeah it's cheaper to give away a gadget worth $100 then $100. I doubt many actually give money away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
