Challenge Overview
We want to design a contest that will make websites/services more secure by finidng vulnerabilities,documenting them and recommending fixes. The competition should attract members who have security experience and find this sort of objective motivating (we will want to attract the best hackers!). The copilot will ideally have some white/black hat experience also - but is NOT REQUIRED.
The goal of this is to find a copilot who can DESIGN and IMPLEMENT such a competition from the ground up to add to the TopCoder suite of contests. Once the contest is established, you will have a chance to pilot this (at PM’s discretion), and perform a series of these contests for a well-funded, long-running project - refining the contest along the way. This will eventually be part of the TC suite.
The vulnerabilities to test should be tightly based on these two lists (where applicable):
