C.I.P.H.E.R. 3: 3rd Challenges in Informatics: Programming, Hosting and ExploRing

Beschreibung

CIPHER is a Capture The Flag-style exercise in IT security for teams of students from universities. The task is to maintain a server running multiple services, while simultaneously trying to get unauthorized access to the other team's servers. Each successful penetration gains points, as well as keeping the own services up and functional during the course of the game.

The exercise is co-arranged by the Special Interest Group SIDAR (Security - Intrusion Detection and Response) of the German Informatics Society (GI) and the Security and Privacy Research Group of the RWTH Aachen. Technical organization and hosting is provided by the Security and Privacy Research Group and is coordinated by Lexi Pimenidis. CIPHER 3 co-executes with the international Conference on Detection of Intrusions and Malware & Vulnerability Assessment - DIMVA 2007 (July 12-13). On-site participation of conference attendees is possible.
