Hi, I am Hrishikesh Murali from Amrita University, Amritapuri Campus, Kerala. We are conducting a national level "Capture The Flag" style ethical hacking contest (http://inctf.amrita.ac.in) at the student level. We aim to spread the awareness of security and secure coding practices with a practical "Capture The Flag" style contest.
The contest is very similar to other CTF's such as "CIPHER4, CIPHER5" ( http://www.cipher-ctf.org), "HARCTF" (http://ctf.hcesperer.org/*harctf*/) and ruCTFE (http://ructf.org/e/). The only difference being that it is only within India, and at the student level. I hope you can spread the word to as many student communities as possible to spread the need of secure coding :) The descripton of the contest is given below: ------------------------------ *Amrita University & TIFAC CORE* <http://www.amrita.edu/cyber> in association with VeriSign <http://www.verisign.com/> and InfoSecurity present *InCTF’10*, India’s First National Level "Capture the Flag" Style *Ethical HACKING contest*.
