South East Idaho's 2nd Annual hands on computer security event will be here April 12 at the Newberry building.  Registration begins at 14:00 and the games start at 16:00 and run to roughly 1 or 2am.  The cost of entry is $10 or $5 with two cans of food. 

This year the challenges include:

  • Programming challenges
  • Reverse Engineering Challenges
  • Capture the Flag (or a variant of ctf at least)
  • Web Challenges
  • Video Game Challenges
  • And more...
All skill levels are welcome.  The emphasis of this event is on teaching and learning (although winning is fun too).  If you are a beginner, there are a lot of easy challenges and there is a lot of help.  If you are an expert, some of these challenges should still be very very difficult...  As long as you are computer literate and have some interest in computer security, this event should be a lot of fun - and you will probably learn some things to. 

There are some cool prizes this year like R/C Pirate cs Ninja, Alber Einstein Action Figures,  Computers, Penguin Mints, USB Memory Watch, The Zombie Survival Guide, and more.

For more information go to http://wargamez.org or reply to me.

Want to help make this event a success?  Post fliers (some can be found http://wargamez.org/pages/posts/fliers--200816.php), tell your computer-minded friends and co-workers about it, and most of all show up!
