Forensic Challenge 2010 – Challenge 1 – Announcement of Winners

I am very pleased to announce the winners to the 1st Honeynet Project Forensic Challenge 2010 – pcap attack trace. We had a total of 91 submissions and the top three submissions are true rock star submissions. The winners are:

  • 1st Place: Ivan Rodriguez Almuina (Switzerland)
  • 2nd Place: Franck Guenichot (France)
  • 3rd Place: Tareq Saade (USA)

Congratulations to the winners!!! Each winner will receive a signed book from one of our Honeynet Project authors.

A sample solution (created by Tillmann, Markus, Hugo and Cameron) is available on the forensic challenge web site at FC 2010 – Challenge 1 – Pcap attack trace. On that page you will also find the submissions of the three winners. Tillmann, who single handedly judged all submissions, will be summarizing highlights from various submissions in a blog post shortly.

All folks that have submitted a solution should have received an email with information about their individual score as well as placement.

Nicolas Collery from the Singapore Honeynet Chapter and Guillaume Arcas are finalizing the second forensic challenge.The challenge will be ‘browsers under attack’ and I personally am very excited about this challenge. I hope we will receive many submissions from all who participated in challenge 1 (and hopefully more.) I will post to our web site honeynet.org in the next few days.

Thanks again – looking forward to the next challenge!
