Hackathon
sensecon 2022 – wait a minute, you got legs? edition
In a world of returning back to, well, “normal” it meant that we could finally have our annual internal hackathon as Orange Cyberdefense in person! And that is exactly what SenseCon 2022 was. An internal, global ethical hacker conference spread across six regions. In this post we’ll talk about exactly that, the challenges as well as the projects people worked on.
As a bonus, we have one of the challenges, BuzzWord, available for you to play via our Discord server, today! Just join using this link, and check out the instructions in the #buzzword-instructions channel.
sensecon 2021 – wargames edition
If last year taught us anything, it was that we can move quickly to organise a fully online hacker conference in little over a month. This year our annual, internal hacker conference ran from the 16th to the 18th of September, was attended by 102 hackers from 9 countries across 2 timezones, and was once again filled with epic hacks and laughs! In this post I’ll tell you more about the run up and execution of our internal SenseCon 2021! Some of this year’s challenges are available to play for a limited time on our Orange Cyberdefense Hacker Discord server as well. You can join using this link: https://discord.gg/yhfPKyBGbp.
sensecon 2020 ex post facto
When we finally decided on a date, sensecon 2020 was little over a month away. Unlike our public client events, internally sensecon is a three day conference filled with trainings, a hackathon and a ton of fun. Traditionally we would have had the hackathon in person, but this year our only option was to do it remotely. Overall we had a blast, both in the preparation phase but also during the conference. It was the largest one we had to date, consisting of over 120 Orange Cyberdefense hackers from 8 countries around the globe! This blog post will be a reflection on these three days filled with incredibly exciting hacks, talking about how we got there, how it went and what we had learned along the way. All while I recover from a little sleep deprivation.
SensePost Hackathon 2012
Last month saw the inaugural SensePost hackathon happen in our new offices in Brooklyn, South Africa. It was the first time the entire company would be in the same room, let alone the same continent, together and away from the pressures of daily work constraints. The idea was simple: weeks before the date, we sent out emails to everyone in the company (not just the tech teams but everyone) to think about ideas, tools, approaches or new business lines that they felt would make us even better at what we did.
