Challenge Information
| Host | Description |
| Heartland Business Systems | Students will be redesigning a networking and cloud system reflecting actual companies within the manufacturing industry. Their design will be summarized through graphs, diagrams, and reports |
| Cyber Forensics | Competitors of all skill levels are invited to partake in a challenge of cyber forensics, including intelligence gathering, password cracking, cryptography, and mobile forensics |
| ReliaQuest | Join us and take part in a fun cyber security challenge designed to test your skills against real world scenarios and knowledge that experts use everyday. Whether you are just interested in learning more about cybersecurity and AITP, or would like to test your skills in real attack defense scenarios, this is a fun learning experience for all skill levels. |
| ITaP Data Science
(Cancelled due to technical difficulties) |
Participants will be presented with a large dataset. They will need to process, extract from, and transform that dataset. They will need to account for any missing data, conduct exploratory analysis, produce informative visualizations, and answer some high level questions. This challenge will use one of the campus HPC clusters. |
| ITaP HPC
(Cancelled due to technical difficulties) |
Students will compile and run a real life scientific application using Purdue's supercomputers. The process is computationally intensive and will introduce competitors to the realm of high-performance computing (clusters, schedulers, parallelization, etc.). |
| B01lers & WiCys | Come and try your hand at some offensive security challenges! Test your skills with command injection, pwning, and much more! |
