HiveStorm Competition - Application Deadline is 10/17/19 at 11:59 PM CST
HiveStorm is a cyber defense competition created by the same people who run CCDC. Teams compete by securing a set of virtual machines from a variety of security issues such as malware, misconfigurations, vulnerabilities and so on. The competition allows teams to practice and prepare for a more sophisticated event like CCDC. Those interested in participating in CCDC, attendance and involvement is HIGHLY encouraged. If you are interested in participating, please email [email protected] ASAP and we will try to help form teams of 2-4 (there can be multiple teams per university).
