“Counter Hack” author Ed Skoudis, who created a popular holiday contest for TechRepublic members last year (https://www.techrepublic.com.com/5100-6329_11-5112512.html), presents HACKERS OF
THE LOST ARK, another of his popular Crack-the-Hacker challenges.
Going along with Ed’s usual flair of adventurous
back-story (this one no doubt inspired by the 1981
blockbuster “Raiders of the Lost Ark?) we learn that just after archeologist Indiana Jones had retrieved the all-powerful Ark of the Covenant from the Nazis, it was secretly stored away in a giant warehouse by the United States Government, never to be found again…
That is until of course, a group of evildoers
hacks into the Government’s prototype server holding sensitive information of the Ark’s exact
location…and suddenly a whole new adventure begins and your forensics skills are beckoned!
Ed himself is offering prizes to the top three
sleuths.
The challenge runs until July 2nd and is available
