Bug Bounty
Unlock lance le Bug Bounty le plus a l’ouest !
For 10 years, the Unlock Your Brain, Harden Your System conference has brought together digital and cybersecurity enthusiasts in Brest for two days of workshops, challenges, and high-level conferences led by national and international experts.
Taking advantage of the gathering of many cybersecurity experts in Brest, la Cantine numérique, BZHunt and YesWeHack, have decided to complement the conference program with a dedicated Bug Bounty competition for students.
The objective of this event is to promote cybersecurity issues, challenges, and careers among students, as well as introduce a new approach to security auditing/penetration testing for software developers. The Bug Bounty competition offers students, who are part of digital programs in higher education institutions, the opportunity to tackle real-world vulnerability research cases in a dynamic and friendly atmosphere.
Once again, this year, for 10 hours, students will be challenged to discover security vulnerabilities on professional websites and connected devices provided by our partners.
What is a Bug Bounty?
A Bug Bounty program involves mobilizing a community of ethical cybersecurity researchers to detect vulnerabilities in an organization’s or product’s information systems through a proactive approach.
These researchers are tasked with identifying vulnerabilities and reporting them to the organization to enhance system robustness through continuous improvement.
The goal is to create a virtuous circle of cybersecurity while enabling developers to provide their clients with increasingly secure systems.
How Does a Bug Bounty Work?
Several partners have agreed to challenge students to find cybersecurity vulnerabilities on websites and connected devices. Students must use their knowledge and organize their teams to detect these vulnerabilities. If vulnerabilities are discovered, students report their findings on the YesWeHack platform.
The BZHunt teams, supported by some experts and partner teams, then qualify the identified vulnerabilities. If accepted, these vulnerabilities are addressed by the developers. Students accumulate points for each qualified vulnerability.
As rewards, the most skilled teams and students will receive prizes based on the points they accumulate. These points are based on the severity of the identified vulnerability and the quality of the research (method used, clarity of the report, recommendations, etc.).
The entire program is conducted within a strict framework where students must adhere to precise ethical rules for each tested product.
