Now for a real (non-rigged) competition judged on merit:<p><a href="https://dtsn.darpa.mil/cybergrandchallenge/CyberGrandChallenge_Rules_v1.pdf" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;dtsn.darpa.mil&#x2F;cybergrandchallenge&#x2F;CyberGrandChallen...</a><p>• 1st place: $2,000,000<p>• 2nd place: $1,000,000<p>• 3rd place: $750,000<p>Good luck writing a service that prevents shell-code injection and actively patches executables after realizing RCE has taken place...All without source code.. That&#x27;s why the prizes are so big. You can pretty much stake a billion-dollar company on an IDS system that versatile.
