Sheffield Hallam University has launched a ‘Capture the Hacker’ competition in separate events that were organised in Bangalore and Delhi. The winner of this competition will be awarded a full-fee scholarship to study the MSc Information Systems Security course at the university campus in the U.K. in September 2014.
The events, that took place at the Christ University in Bangalore and The Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi, were attended by approximately 190 students, while 43 students attended the workshops following a public lecture on ‘The Changing Face of Malicious Hacking’ by Neil Richardson, Course Leader, MSc Information Systems Security.
The hacking competition will consist of two stages. The short-listed candidates from stage one will be interviewed by a team from Sheffield Hallam University and the winner will be announced in May 2014. The last date for the students to apply for participation is March 21.
