Students will once again be given the chance to show off their hacking prowess in a competition designed to demonstrate the importance of network security. 

The Georgia Tech Information Security Center (GTISC), the Georgia Tech Association for Computing Machinery (GT ACM) and Georgia Tech Research Institute’s (GTRI) Cyber Technology and Information Security Lab (CTISL)  host the second cyber security competition, Hungry, Hungry Hackers (H3).

Open to all college students, the competition will be held at the GTRI Conference Center August 27, 2011, from 10 a.m. to midnight. In addition to the competition, a tutorial session will be provided for “n00bs” and those wanting to learn basic skills at 8 a.m.

H3 begins at 10 a.m. and continues until 10 p.m., with breaks for lunch and dinner.  Winners will be announced and prizes awarded from 10 p.m. to midnight. A $5 registration fee is required for all participants, and registration is available on the event Website.  Online registration will ensure attendees a space at the event, while those registering the morning of the event will be assigned space on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants are required to show their student IDs at registration to participate.
