Cambridge2Cambridge (C2C) Cybersecurity Challenge 2018
Host
Jessica Gibson
In 2015 the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, MA) and the University of Cambridge (Cambridge, UK), jointly launched “Cambridge2Cambridge”, a cybersecurity challenge that gives students the opportunity to explore creative ways to combat global cyber attacks and hone crucial skills. Interested students must register and participate in a national-level online qualifying round from April 6-8, 2018.
Qualifying students will be assigned to blended teams with participants from other universities to compete in a three-day challenge. The live event will take place at MIT’s Ray and Maria Stata Center in Cambridge, MA, US, from June 29-July 1, 2018.
About the Qualifier and Live Event
This cybersecurity CTF event is used to encourage international cooperation, test skills and knowledge within a diverse range of computer security categories, and complete tasks related to general networking, programming, forensics, reverse engineering, and cryptography. Within the CTF prequalification and primary event, individuals/teams will be required to capture a series of “flags” populated within systems, documents, pictures, and other formats. Each “flag” has aspecific value based on the skills required to extract the flag data for input within the scoring system.
Current List of Qualifier Challenges
Group 1 – General Cyber Security Historical Trivia
Group 2 – Python Programming
Group 3 – Cryptography
Group 4 – General Hacking (Based on VM creationand deployment)
Group 5 – Forensics
Estimated Completion Time for All Challenges
36 Hours
