NEC XON has partnered with the SANReN to sponsor the 2024 Cyber Security Challenge.
The competition takes place in November and December 2024, attracting students from universities across Southern Africa who are passionate about network security and the broader cybersecurity field.
“At their core, a hacker is an individual with an insatiable curiosity, someone who constantly questions and seeks to understand systems, networks and all their interconnections,” said Kruger. “The ‘hacker mindset’ is all about thinking beyond conventional boundaries, challenging the status quo and solving problems in innovative ways. These are the people who will be at the forefront of protecting the digital world from future threats.
In the CTF portion, student teams face complex problem-solving tasks that test their knowledge of binary exploitation, cryptography, web exploitation, reverse engineering, digital forensics and mobile security. The attack/defend section pits teams against each other in a live environment where they must defend their own networks while simultaneously attacking their opponents’ systems – testing both technical skills and contestants’ ability to function under pressure and work collaboratively.
