If you understood that sentence then this competition is for you! If not, perhaps we can entice you with fabulous iPad type prizes?
The goal of this non-credit activity is to learn how to make a web application secure even if parts of it are buggy or malicious. Prior to the competition, you will work in teams of 3 with an existing web application to harden it even in the face of untrusted plug-ins. Defensive tools and offensive techniques will be presented in tutorials and labs. The activity will culminate in a 3-day free-for-all competition during which each team will engage in both offense and defense. iPads and similar cool tech will be awarded as prizes.
Interested h4x0r2 please email tleek@ll.mit.edu to register. Please provide a few sentences detailing your prior experience to be used in selection.
