Registrations are now open for the fifth edition of Reply’s
online team-based competition dedicated to cyber security and open
to young professionals and cyber security enthusiasts from all over
the world, which saw the participation of more than 2200 teams from
130 countries in 2021.
The competition will take place on Friday, October 14th,
during the European Cyber Security Month (ECSM), the European
awareness campaign that every year, in October, aims to raise the
awareness of citizens, organizations, companies and institutions
about the major cyber risks.
The challenge aims to put teams (from 2 to 4 players) in
competition in a 24-intense-hour marathon, Capture The Flag
(CTF) challenge, focusing on the identification of
vulnerabilities purposely hidden within software and computer
systems.
Developed by Reply Keen Minds, a team of Reply Cyber Security
experts, the challenge is comprised of five levels for each of
the five gaming categories (Coding, Web, Miscellaneous, Binary
and Crypto) in which participants will have to try to solve, in
the shortest time possible, security problems and riddles of
increasing difficulty.
The podium will be composed by the top three teams that, at the
end of the competition, achieve the highest score and present a
report showing the strategies they adopted during the challenge.
The final score will be determined by the highest number of hidden
flags identified plus a bonus awarded for the quick resolution of
the problems.
From today and until October 13th, at the website
challenges.reply.com,
participants will have the opportunity to register for the
challenge for free (by registering their team or joining other
players in random teams) and to train by solving past Reply Cyber
Security Challenges in a "sandbox" environment.
This fifth Edition is now enriched with the University
Students' League programme. The new programme allows each
participant to contribute both to their team’s score and to that of
the university they attend. The university with the highest score,
based on the sum of the scores obtained by the coders who attend
that university, will win a prize of their choice, consisting of
financial support for a university project or an Arcade Game for
common areas.
The Reply Cyber Security Challenge is part of the Reply
Challenges Programme which, together with the Reply Code For Kids
programme and Reply’s 2nd level Master’s Degree in AI & Cloud
offered at the Polytechnic University of Turin, are just some of
the examples of the Group’s continued commitment to the development
of innovative training models. Today, Reply’s Challenges is made up
of a community of over 140,000 players.
Registrations to the Reply Cyber Security Challenge will be open
until October 13th. Full information is available on:
