Description changed:
OWASP London Secure Application Development Hackathon and CTF event will be taking place on the evenings on 28th and 29th of November 2016 in Central London.
CTF (Capture The Flag) is a type of computer security competition. Contestants are presented with a set of challenges and puzzles which test their creativity, technical (and googling) skills, and problem-solving ability. Challenges usually cover a number of categories and when solved, each yields a “flag” which is submitted to a real-time scoring service. The difficulty levels are from beginner to advanced.
CTF tournaments are a great and fun way for software developers to learn a wide array of applications security skills in a safe and legal environment.
Practice your hacking skills and compete against other participants and
teams - solve challenges and puzzles, capture flags, score points and
win prizes!
IMPORTANT: Please bring your own LAPTOP and a charger for it to both
evenings.
Snacks and drinks will be provided throughout both evenings.
Top 3 scorers will win exciting prizes generously provided by security
technology vendors.
