SurMD Hacker Challenge
7th Aug 2015, 8 a.m. BST - 9th Aug 2015, 11:30 p.m. BST.

Are you a security pro? If so, $100K is waiting for you.

 

As a secure cloud solutions provider, we are looking to work with skilled security practitioners and hackers such as you to continually improve security. Our engineering team claims that their final product can guarantee no data breaches. Now, we want to put this to a test. If you win this contest, you will get that $100K, or we will accept their claim and give them a bonus.

 

This event will be an offensive type of Security Hackathon wherein a participant (or a group of maximum 3 participants) will have to locate and decrypt a target document found in the server environment setup by SurMD. We will be providing you the login details for the administrative account. For more details on the structure of this Challenge, please read the section on ‘How to Participate’.

 

Challenge our security standards as we design the next big thing in security together. If you are confident of your security skills, hacker skills, or math skills, or you are just interested, signup today, as the stakes are high.

The winner gets to walk away with $100,000 in cash!
