New York Security Challenge 2020
CodeCon, a programming contest built by Bloomberg engineers, will take place on 30 March at ETH Zurich. Solve as many challenges as you can and the best 6 ETH students win a 10 day trip to New York.
ETH Studio New York, in partnership with Bloomberg, offers the winners of a CodeCon a tailored-made Security Week in New York City.
The programming contest CodeCon will take place on 30 March 2020 at ETH Zurich. You will solve information security and coding challenges designed by Bloomberg. The winners will win a trip to New York City in June where they will work on a short security research project with senior security experts at Bloomberg with the goal of drafting a conference submission.
At the CodeCon, you will work with C, C ++, Java, Python, C#, JavaScript, Scala, Rust or Ruby. We will differentiate between the background knowledge of Bachelor, Master and PhD students in order for all levels to have a chance to win the trip to New York. Security background is not necessarily needed in order to participate.
