Annual hacking game teaches security lessons
Robert Lemos writes on SecurityFocus:
The annual Capture the Flag tournament at DEF CON has always attracted participants from a variety of background, looking to try their hands at online attack and defense. Under a new set of organizers this year, the game pitted teams and individuals against each other to find and exploit vulnerabilities in their opponents' systems to score points.
The game, dubbed "WarGamez" this year, put more emphasis on real-world skills compared to previous years, said Giovanni Vigna, associate professor of computer science at the University of California at Santa Barbara and the leader of team Shellphish, which won the event.
