The Interuniversity Hackathon on information security, organized by the ICS RTU MIREA together with strategic partners - Kaspersky Lab and Positive Technologies, ended with a spectacular finale.

11 teams took part in the final competition, including those from other universities in Moscow, who had passed the qualifying stage of the hackathon.

The final stage assignments were developed by the project office of ISC RTU MIREA and representatives of strategic partners, leading companies in the field of information security – Kaspersky Lab and Positive Technologies with the involvement of students, which became an interesting experience in developing a system of skills in the field of information security.

Participants in the finals were offered five services containing vulnerabilities in the application code, which the teams had to detect and close within six hours, so that automated scripts simulating attacks could not steal the data from the servers, as well as tasks on smart contracts, cryptocurrencies, on web application vulnerabilities and much more.

•         first place is awarded to the team of students from the department KB-4 “Intelligent Information Security Systems” ISC RTU MIREA – “cR4.sh” (Artem Tikhonov, Mikhail Luzgin, Nikita Babkov, Ivan Naydenov)
