What to expect from the 2020 Shearwater Annual AppSec Hackathon
HANDS-ON LEARNING
This event is tailored for information security professionals and code developers looking to test their skills and identify knowledge gaps. It is a hands-on cyber security challenge designed to offer participants practical real-world learning to develop skills.
REAL WORLD SCENARIOS
The challenges involve real websites with simulated traffic, technologies and vulnerabilities that represent actual application behaviours. Unmatched realism delivers long-term memory benefits that “learning by doing” provides to teams that protect your enterprise.
FUN, FOOD & FRIENDS
Going beyond the standard approach, this hands-on training event is as challenging as it is creative and fun. Network with colleagues and receive recognition amongst peers. This event is a great team building opportunity not to mention the prizes and bragging rights for the winners.
FEEDBACK FROM OUR PREVIOUS HACKATHONS
Amazing people and challenges. Highly recommended for anyone interested in penetration testing.
Great event will be looking to attend next year.
It was fun and interesting, more so than I expected. The level of challenges seemed good, some for beginners and scaling up with experience and skill and I really like the whole format of it was like a video game…
Great work! Loved it!
I had a great time doing the hackathon, thanks very much for putting on the event! 🙂
It was a blast. I had a great time and if I can attend again I’ll play again with more experience.
Challenges were great with a variety of difficulty and explored common OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. Great way for hands-on learning.
EVENT DETAILS
Use capture-the-flag techniques to uncover vulnerabilities in a fully functional web application
Guided by cheat sheets and application security experts, you will become immersed in a “find the vulnerabilities” game where you will quickly learn and apply hacking techniques in a sandbox environment – and all the while, acquire the skills needed to keep data safe.
