Make money on cyber war

    It is well known that insider information received on time about the successes and failures of large corporations when played correctly on the stock exchange can bring the owner millions. And who, if not hackers, has the opportunity to extract such information or to influence the activities of companies by breaking into important business systems? So why not capitalize on your knowledge during the Positive Hack Days V forum ?

    This year, participants in PHDays will be able to join the life of the state of the United States of Soviet Unions (USSU) by selling and buying securities on the PHDays Stock Market. Not only participants of CTF and other contests, but also all visitors to the forum will be able to trade in shares of “corporations” represented in the contests (directly or through a broker) and use insider information to play on the exchange.

    Participants in hacking competitions will be able to influence stock quotes by breaking into the railroad, electrical substation, news agency sites and other resources. In addition, with a successful hack, you can find useful information.

    You can spend game currency on the purchase of drinks in the bar and souvenirs. For more details, please contact our specialists, who will be located at the bar counter of the Congress Hall of the World Trade Center on May 26 and 27.



    PHDays CTF


    The annual international data protection competition PHDays CTF gained recognition thanks to a well-developed legend and conditions that are as close as possible to the fighting. However, the fifth CTF will be unlike all previous ones, as well as any other competitions. The main distinguishing feature is the PHDays Stock Market. However, technically this is a familiar task-based CTF, with some assumptions and innovations. According to the scenario of 2015, the team represents a hacker group operating in the USSU state, which has its own energy, transport, telecommunications, banking system, media, as well as the exchange, which is the basis of the economic and political life of the state.





    To win, teams need to perform various tasks received on the DarkNet underground labor exchange, for example, intercepting GSM traffic between an ATM and processing (Leave ATM Alone contests), pushing trains (Choo Choo Pwn) or discovering the CEO of a large corporation (Competitive Intelligence) . Having hacked into corporations, participants can profit from the sale of shares that are traded on the stock exchange: attacks affect quotes, and insider information obtained during hacking helps to choose a winning strategy.

    You can compromise company resources both from the Internet (Competitive Intelligence contests and WAF Bypass), and locally, while on the site (Leave ATM Alone, Hacknet and other contests).

    CTF members can not share their exploits with anyone and use this knowledge when trading on the exchange or, as in real life, sell exploits at the BlackMarket hacker forum. In addition, it will be possible to receive remuneration for the transferred advisory at the USSU State Center for Incident Monitoring and Investigation (CERT).

    For the advisory transferred to CERT and orders from Darknet, the teams will receive virtual currency - the public, and the one who collects the most will win CTF.

    Another feature of CTF this year: in addition to teams invited by the organizers, other forum participants can join the game. If you have a ticket to PHDays and you want to create your own team, you can register at any time until the first day of the forum (May 26, 09:00 Moscow time). To do this, it is enough to assemble a team of at least three forum participants and register by writing to your phd [at] ptsecurity.com address information about your team.
