DSU Hosts Ethical Hacking Contest Dakota State University (DSU) is hosting the 1st Annual Dakota State University Security Hacking Invitational (D-SUSHI), an ethical computer security hacking competition Monday, February 18 on the DSU campus. The free competition is hosted by the DSU College of Business and Information Systems, and is open to high school junior and seniors. Participants will be paired into a 2-person team and scored on various hands-on tasks including ethical hacking, network foot printing, network scanning, vulnerability assessment, password cracking, and decoding hidden files. DSU professor Dr. Josh Pauli, says organizers have structured the event to ensure that students understand the responsibilities of ethical hacking. “Participants will be required to sign a white-hat agreement, stating that they will not use the tools outside the classroom, and will be addressed by experts on the consequences of security hacking.” Pauli says safe guards have been built into the event to ensure participants will not misuse the technology. “This event provides an opportunity for these students to learn how to leverage the technology, tools and techniques they may already be experimenting with in a responsible way.” Each student will receive a biometric-enabled USB flash drive for entering the contest. The winning team will each receive a Play station portable (PSP) while second and third place teams will receive iPod Nanos. More information on the event can be found at www.dsushi.org.
