/in


Hacking Google as a way to make money is a sad reality for many cybercriminals. Be that by gaming SEO to promote malicious links in search engine results or gaining unauthorized access to Google accounts in order to leverage the undoubted power that control over an email account brings with. Of course, there’s a price to be paid for such nefarious activity if law enforcement track the perpetrators down. But what if told you there was a way to hack Google that won’t get you sent to prison but could still make you money, and lots of it? What if I told you that hacking Google could be the next big eSports game?

Register for the Google CTF for your chance to qualify for Hackceler8

In a May 26 posting to the Google security blog, Google’s technical program manager, Vincent Winstead, challenged hackers of all capabilities to test their skill, and possibly learn some new ones, by registering for a Google capture the flag (CTF) competition which is scheduled to start June 23.

The Google CTF will consist of a bunch of different challenges, presented as computer security puzzles to be solved using hacking skills such as reverse-engineering, using memory corruption to find exploits, and more. Your CTF hacking team will be rewarded with points for each challenge that is successfully completed, and by doing so move up the hacker ranks. And, to quote the late Sir Bruce Forsyth from the British game show Play Your Cards Right, “What do points make? Prizes!”

The winning hackers will qualify for Google Hackceler8 in Tokyo

Actually, in the world of Google CTF points make a chance to gain entry to Hackceler8 in Tokyo’s later this year. “The top 8 teams will qualify for our Hackceler8 competition,” Winstead says, “our experimental esport-style hacking game, custom-made to mix CTF and speedrunning.” In other words, an against-the-clock CTF which has been ramped up in the difficulty levels to challenge the hacking teams. Points also, in the case of Hackceler8, make money: there’s a prize pot of more than $32,000 up for grabs. “Whether you’re a seasoned CTF player or just curious about…

Guard, Reserve Component Summit Exemplifies ‘Cyber Is a Team Sport’

/in


Senior leaders from around the U.S. Cyber Command enterprise attended a summit on April 19 at the command’s headquarters to discuss the future of cyber operations, evolving capabilities, and deeper integration.

The gathering was conducted both in-person and virtually, bringing together Reserve Component leadership and Service Cyber Component commanders to highlight current contributions, challenges, and strategies within the cyber environment, while focusing on increased integration and collaboration.

During the event, leaders engaged in a roundtable discussion covering three topics: increasing Reserve Component cyber capacity/capabilities, operations in the information environment, and intelligence operations relating to cyber.

Gen. Paul Nakasone, CYBERCOM commander and National Security Agency/Central Security Service director, discussed the value of the Total Force during his opening remarks at the event. He said that protecting the nation against malicious cyber activity is a whole-of-nation effort involving partners from industry, academia, interagency, and the Guard and Reserve.

While each component brings a unique aspect to the cyber fight, it is the partnerships of the Total Force that gives America’s cyber warriors an advantage.

The benefit of Guard and Reserve teammates is they often bring skillsets from their civilian careers, which can boost innovation. This expertise, coupled with their ability to easily support their home states and work within existing partnership programs, brings a valuable dynamic to the cyber defense of the nation.

“Cyber warfare is not just our future—it is our contemporary reality,” said Gen. Hokanson, Chief, National Guard Bureau. “The National Guard is positioned to be leaders in the digital domain, and continues to enhance our nation’s cyber capabilities in combat and in the homeland.

“With 4,000 National Guard cyber operators across 40 states, many working for leading tech companies, the National Guard has the knowledge, skills, and abilities to play a critical role in the DoD’s cyber enterprise,” he added.

This joint partnership between CYBERCOM components has already proved successful. In the 2020 Elections, the…
