| In the best traditions of the KGB's Higher School of American intelligence services are also set against hacking each other to identify real talent. Only the Americans do not hold secret tests, and open competition, which can take part, anyone, even without a higher education student or young person with a criminal background. Just recently finished the first such US Open Championship Cyber ??Challenge. All participants competed in the game NetWars. It differs from the well-known hacker game Capture the Flag, which is the online equivalent of the king of mountains ", where hackers are fighting for access to the system, and after the seizure must protect her from other applicants. The game NetWars want to find the secret key encrypted in a graphic image. Key gives access to a system in which you want to find vulnerabilities and leave your name in the file that opens only after a successful application exploits. This was the intramural championship stage. In Washington arrived winners qualifying events held in the remote form in June this year. Everyone at the table stood a sign with his name, age and place of residence. This video format MPEG4 (8,9 MB)For many participants cooperate with the state - this is the only alternative to crime, because their skills and knowledge can be only one way. And only at this competition, they can show their skills openly, without fear of being prosecuted. In America, young people decided to trust the most responsible job. For example, during the Apollo 17 mission, the average age mission control center was only 26 years old. So that even very young hackers can count on getting the most demanding tasks, such as the defense of energy infrastructure. A total of U.S. intelligence services are planning to invite to work up to 10.000 experts on cyber security. Now there is only one thousand, and the Americans still have no idea where to find kvalifiirovannyh specialists in such numbers. Via CNN | |
