Breaking cannot be pardoned, or what awaits hackers at PHDays VII



    Perhaps the most anticipated part of the forum is contests. This year we have prepared an extensive program: participants are waiting for contests that have become classics of PHDays, and something completely new. The basic rule remains unchanged - only real goals, only hardcore. Most of the PHDays VII competitions will be held as part of the Confrontation , the central object will be a smart city. Visitors to the forum will be able to try hacking smart home systems, video surveillance cameras, IoT devices, as well as look under the hood of a smart car and break down the automation system of the whole city.

    The traditional WAF Bypass contest is back at PHDays. As before, participants need to get around PT Application Firewall - Positive Technologies' application-level firewall. This time, the tasks will be aimed at bypassing the new PT Application Firewall component for database protection. Victory will count towards the delivery of special flags. Not only forum participants, but also Internet users will be able to try their hand.

    Feel like a spy at the MITM Mobile contest. Our own mobile operator will work at PHDays. Participants will try to intercept SMS, USSD, listen to phone calls, clone mobile phones.

    Fans of green papers will be able to compete in the "Big jackpot" (the contest is held with the support of ARinteg and QIWI). The participants will have a good place to go, as this year the Big Kush is almost a separate organization, including banks (and not only RBS), ATMs, self-service kiosks, online stores and cards. The goal is to get to the money. By the way, something will fall into the “white hats”, too, if they can find zero-day vulnerabilities and quickly and accurately write an advisory.

    One of the new contests - HackBattle. On the first day of the forum, the HackBattle stand will host the qualifying stage: participants will need to complete several tasks. On the second day, the best hacker minds will gather on the main stage in order to compete in speed, dexterity and ability to cope with unexpected tasks in real time. A team of professional streamers will comment on everything that happens. What will come of this - find out at PHDays.

    Detailed information about the start of the competitions will be published shortly. Follow the news and get ready - it will be fun!
