CDP Cyber Challenge, the hackathon promoted by Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, created in collaboration with Maker Faire Rome, aimed at making people aware of the issue of cybersecurity.
the initiative which is part of an organic set of strategic actions implemented by CDP and aimed at raising awareness, training and capacity building of personnel of public and private companies, of various sizes, Public Administration entities and structures, both central and peripheral.
With the project we want to be promoters of an event characterized by a theme of national interest (IT Security and Resilience), dedicated to the new generations of innovators, while at the same time stimulating new talents to identify creative solutions to complex problems.
Participants will have the opportunity to challenge their skills through a cybersecurity experience, on a specially designed network, for red teams, in the "Gaming/Capture The Flag" style with prize and timed ranking.
In particular, the "Capture the flag" experience will last about 4 hours in which the participating teams will compete on various topics including enumeration, system exploitation, WiFi/Hash cracking, bruteforce ssh users, web app exploitation (sql injection, directory traversal, etc.), trashing, For each of these challenges, with increasing degree of difficulty, a variable score will be assigned according to the level of difficulty. At the end of the time, each team will have to draw up a summary report indicating the methods/techniques used to solve the challenges faced. The finalist teams will illustrate the contents of the report in a 5-minute pitch and a jury will decide the winning team.
Only 20 teams of a maximum of 3 people will be admitted and the winning team will be awarded 5,000 euros in vouchers for online purchases.
