How does the competition work?
The Hack@SChack Hackathon is a Capture-the-Flag event to challenge yourself, stretch your security muscle, and have FUN! CyberQ is a cyber range tactical range environment consisting of a virtual machines and tools to support red team and blue team environments. This range technology was developed by EC-Council, the inventors of Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH).
Participating teams will consist of 3 people per team with a primary team captain controlling the range within CyberQ, and the other two team members doing research and recon. Challenges will consist of red team, offensive tactics and exploits, each mapped to a specific job role and Knowledge, Skills, and Tasks within he NCWF (National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education).
This event will be BYOD, and participants will be provisioned access to the CyberQ range.
How does scoring work?
Scoring will be structured by 20 points per flag, with 3 optional hint per flag that deduct 5 points per hint if the flag is captured. Final results are based on Score, Time of Completion, and the Number of Attempts per flag.

About ATI’s Cyber Security – Computer Science Internship Program
The mission of the internship is to provide underrepresented students from SC historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and Trident Technical College (TTC) the opportunity to gain firsthand insight into the computer science field through a guided program with the SC-based cyber security and computer science industry. Students learn real world skills and establish mentor-mentee relationships, while industry connects with local talent to meet their long-term workforce demands and help instill a passion for the field.
Via a nine-month virtual mentor relationship, a one-week immersion-style internship, and a Hackathon, the students are provided an opportunity to grow as computer scientists and gain valuable real world experience.
For information about how your organization can get involved as a mentor, or learn more about the program, contact Tim Macon, ATI Program Manager at 843.760.3498, or email tim.macon@ati.org.
