Various challenges will be posted here that test participants' knowledge and skills in various areas of Information Security, such as web vulnerability assessment, digital forensics, cryptographic analysis, and penetration testing. Everyone is welcome to participate.
The question engine machine, located at http://questionengine.securitytreasurehunt.com, poses a series of questions about each challenge. This engine allows participants to judge how they are doing and lets the creators of each Security Treasure Hunt identify individuals with promising Information Security skills.
