Hack a Day
Seeed Studios has launched a contest centered around the DSO Quad. In case you’re unfamiliar with the hardware, the DSO Quad is a low-cost standalone oscilloscope. It’s got four channels, two of which are analog, and includes an ARM Cortex-M3 processor as well as an FPGA. Why are we recapping the hardware with the contest announcement? [...]

Last weekend, ARRL, the national association of amateur radio, held a contest called, “10 GHz and up” with the goal of communicating via radio or microwaves over long distances. [KA7OEI] and a few friends decided to capitalize on the “and up” portion of the ’10 GHz and up” contest by setting up a full-duplex voice [...]

CTF Event:
Chaos Communication Congress 22th (22C3) 2005 Abstract: The talk will give a deep view behing the scenes of creating a CTF-hacking challenge. Starting from a short analysis of requirements for such an event, the organizational work to be done, to the main topic: designing the actual contest and choosing the software to be hacked. This years CIPHER event was a larger hacking event for students from international universities. 14 teams gathered from four continents and fourteen countries to hack the other team's server and defend their own. The exercise is about hosting a server that initially runs multiple services, i.e. a webserver, a mail server and customized services. These have typical security vulnerabilities that allow to compromise the server. The goal is to maintain the services up and uncompromised for the duration of the game, scores are also given for exploiting weaknesses and gaining access to other team's servers. The contest was held within a VPN, to authenticate the teams and ensure that the contest will not leak 'surprises' on the remainder of the internet. The services were hosted on VMWare- images, so that the memory layout and starting conditions for each team were controlled and known to all participants. We will give an overview of the services used in the contest, how we build them and demonstrate the tools we used to run the contest. The main goal of the exercise was to teach students how to act in situations of constant pressure and ubiqituous insecurity. The skills to actively participate not only include programming languages but also system administration and knowledge about offensive techniques.

In case you hadn’t noticed, we participated in a contest recently. The RedBull Creation contest. The basic idea was that they gave us 72 hours to build something based on a theme. The whole thing would be streamed live as the 12 teams competed. The theme was “game of games” and the rules were pretty [...]

We get bombarded with press releases daily. Our inbox overflows with brand new iPhone cases and cheap LED manufacturers in china. We generally have no interest in sharing obvious product advertisement with you. However, some people understand what we’re interested in. Redbull gets it. They’re embracing hackers and running contests that promote DIY/hacking. Last year, [...]

[Matt] entered himself in a pumpkin carving contest this year, even despite the fact that his artistic skills were a bit…lacking. He knew that he had very little chance of winning the contest unless he had a great gimmick to make his creation stand out, so he started brainstorming. [Matt] figured that since his design [...]

[M. Eric Carr] came up with an interesting build for the 555 contest earlier this year, and we’re pretty sure that it would have kicked the winner of the complex category off the throne if it were completed. Although it’s a few months late, we’re happy to feature at least part of his 555-based computer [...]

The 555 Design Contest shook a whole bunch of really creative circuits out of the trees, hence the 555-heavy content lately. While not technically part of the contest, [esalazar] wanted to know what made the 555 tick, literally! He started working on the project in a circuit simulator, then ultimately ended up building the three [...]
