[oss] Romania Cyber Security Challenge, July 17-31, 2015

[Razvan Deaconescu]

Hi, everyone!

During this week end the online qualifiers for the first stage of the
European Cyber Security Challenge 2015 has started[1]. This phase is
part of the local contest (Romania)[2], taking place between the 17th of
July and the 31st of July 2015.

This online phase is similar to a classical CTF contest[3] with tasks
for Reverse Engineering, Exploitation, Foresincs, Web Application
Hacking and Crypto. That means all the cool and interestig stuff we've
done at the Operating System Security/Computer and Network Security
class[4] :-)

We think this is a great opportunity to hone your skills and aim for
being part of the 10 people team that will represent Romania at the
final phase[1]. During the local contest 5 junior people (aged 14-20)
and 5 senior people (aged 20-30, that's you) will be selected to
represent Romania at the final phase[1] taking place in Lucerne,
Switzerland, October 19-23.

To be part of the contest, create an account, start working and the
tasks and watch the scoreboard[5] :-) It's already on!
