Business Government sponsors hacker shoot-out to capture drone

2013/08/13

The Government and industry are backing national competitions to identify and inspire the next generation of UK cyber security professionals.

Called Cyber Security Challenge “each year since 2010 we have run up to 40 competitions for more than 4,000 registered candidates that span a huge range of the skills required to work in cyber security every day”, said a spokesman for the scheme.

In the latest, on Saturday 17th August, 50 candidates are convening at Sophos in Abingdon where they will have to hack into a wireless network of Raspberry Pis.

“These devices control a wireless drone located in the Sophos car park. The winning team is the first to hack the network, secure it, take control of the Raspberry Pi devices, launch the drone and fly it into the competition hall,” said the spokesman.

The winning team gets a place in the ‘Masterclass final’ in March.

According to the organisers:

“The Sophos Wireless Infrastructure Challenge will see 25 of the UK’s brightest amateur cyber minds compete in teams to explore, attack and analyse a range of wireless IT networks used by families, small businesses, multi-corporations or even government departments.

Whether attacking the networks directly or through real life vulnerabilities in common networked devices such as iPads or smart phones, teams will be rewarded for breaking-in with parts of secret code.

The full code will give attendees access to one final network that is being protected live by experts from Sophos.

This network in turn provides access to a real life wireless drone, controllable with Raspberry Pis.

The first team to break into the drones operation system and fly it into the competition room wins.
