The Georgia Tech Information Security Center (GTISC), the Georgia Tech Association for Computing Machinery (GT ACM) and Georgia Tech Research Institute’s (GTRI) Cyber Technology Group host the inaugural cyber security competition, Hungry, Hungry Hackers (aka H3).
The “Hungriest Hacker at Georgia Tech” will receive $750 cash and an opportunity to interview for a position at GTRI. Organizers also plan to provide runners-up with some geeky gift cards and possible interview slots.
Registration is available at www.hungryhungryhackers.org. Students are encouraged to register early. Morning-of registrants will be assigned available space on a first-come, first-served basis. Students should bring a computer that can connect to both wireless and wired networks, their BuzzCard and their registration confirmation.
Food and drinks will be provided throughout the event. Phase I of the competition is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. After lunch, the top performers will advance to Phase II, scheduled to end around 10 p.m. Dinner and snacks will be served during this time. The winner and runners up will be announced shortly after.
