Cyber Defense Competition Has A New Champion

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the hack-the-gibson dept.

lisah writes "Several colleges across the country went head-to-head in San Antonio, Texas last weekend at the National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition to see which team could best protect their networks against attacks. In a modern day version of Steal the Flag, the teams duked it out using identical network setups that included a Cisco router and five servers. In the end, Baker College took the champion's title from last year's winner, Texas A & M University."

    Any word on when ESPN will start broadcasting these "games" live? Throw in a few hot cheer leaders and I'd watch. Actually, anybody know where I can get tickets?

    All sounded pretty good until you used the word "owned". Damn straight. Everybody knows the technical term is "pwned".
