The term “hacking” might conjure up images of shadowy figures
typing away in darkened rooms, but the truth is that hacking can be
a force for good. As part of their ongoing efforts, CodeCluster and
Next Earth will be sponsoring CCTF – the largest hacker competition
for crypto and blockchain hackers. This year’s event will take
place in May, but players can apply until April 7th. Crypto CTF is
more than just a competition – it’s also an educational event,
teaching through hacking. The challenges are designed to be
realistic, and cover topics that cryptographers, auditors,
pentesters and security engineers face on a daily basis, including
hacking challenges related to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and even Polkadot.
The sponsor Next Earth is the third-largest metaverse project, with
more than 30,000 virtual landowners, 180,000+ registered users, and
2,500+ transactions. The platform was created to become a
self-sustaining, self-regulated not-for-profit supporting
environmental causes on Earth, and has donated $1 million to
environmental initiatives since launch in Q4 2021. CodeCluster is a
culture-first web and app development shop. The vision for Crypto
CTF was conceived at the beginning of 2019 by Six, and the first
round was played during the BsidesBUD information security
conference. Since then, each event has seen an increased number of
participants and sponsors. Teaching Through Hacking As Next Earth
aims to lead the metaverse charge with their innovative platform,
they realize the importance of the next generation of talented
developers. After all, if the metaverse is to become the next
generation of the Internet, then it will need the support of the
next generation of coders and developers. For instance, consider
that an entirely new infrastructure needs to be created to support
the metaverse. Everything from the way data is stored and
transmitted, to the way identities are verified and assets are
managed, will need to be built. That’s a lot of work, and it will
require the skills of thousands of talented coders and developers.
Moreover, consider the need for interoperability between metaverse
platforms. Users should be able to move their assets and data
freely between different metaverse platforms, without losing
anything in the process. That’s a daunting challenge and one that
calls for developers with a big-picture view. The CCTF event is one
way that CodeCluster and Next Earth are working to create a
pipeline of talented metaverse developers. By sponsoring the event,
they are incentivizing people to develop the skills needed to build
the metaverse. Past events have covered topics such as
cryptography, blockchain, Proof of Authority, Smart Contract
security, frontrunning and cryptocurrency infrastructure
vulnerabilities, weak crypto, misconfigurations, leaked wallets,
BIP seeds, and incorrect RSA implementation. With each event, the
pool of talented coders and developers grows, and a global
metaverse gets one step closer to becoming a reality.
