========================================= Race-to-Zero - Threat Obfuscation Contest ========================================= This is a community announcement for the first Race-to-Zero contest. Race-To-Zero will be taking place at Defcon 16 and we thought members of this list may be interested in competing. The event involves contestants being given a sample set of viruses, malcode and exploits to modify and upload through the contest portal. The portal passes the modified samples through a number of antivirus engines and determines if the sample is a known threat (ala VirusTotal). The first team (or individual) to pass their sample past all antivirus engines undetected wins that round. Each round increases in complexity as the contest progresses. In addition to the overall winner, awards will be given for other notable achievements, such as: - Most elegant obfuscation - Dirtiest hack of an obfuscation - Comedy value - Most deserving of beer - .... The judging panel is currently being finalised and will be published in short order.
