PHDays Young School: Young Scientists Wanted
In fact
In 2012, the Positive Hack Days forum, organized by Positive Technologies , will host a competition of young scientists in the field of information security - PHDays Young School .
We want to help young scientists to express themselves and make them talk about the results of their research. Even so: CONSIDERED! Our goals are fresh ideas, new energy, a variety of topics.
Joker or Batman?

Great inventors are like children. They are not familiar with the saying "to break - not to build." To come up with a reliable castle, they become bearish. To do something interesting on this shore, they temporarily go to the opposite shore. From there you can see better. Examples? You are welcome.
Steve Jobs, being a 16-year-old boy, almost landed in the lot trying to sell phreaking devices. Years later, he released the most popular smartphone on the planet, having practically grown the market of legal content for mobile devices from scratch. Bill Gates is said to also be phreaking, and now his company owns Skype. And God only knows that so many programs were manually broken until Ilfak Gilfanov created the world's best disassembler IDA Pro.
Who are we looking for
We are looking for that “young punk”, who will take a rag and convincingly wipe the popular idea that the “brains” have already been taken out of Russia, and the remaining population can only pump oil, cheat and shift papers. The participant must have a student card or a scientific team. Officially or unofficially - it does not matter to us. Students of culinary technical schools developing a unique antivirus can also take part in the competition.
Andrei Petukhov, VMiK MSU: “The centers for advanced information security research are currently formed and widely known in the international community: International Secure System Lab, Computer Security Group at UCSB, SysSec project, a group of researchers at the Ruhr University in Bochum. And what about us? Being agitated by vague doubts about the answer to this question, we decided to announce the PHDays Young School competition. ”
Glove thrown
Around the world, the university environment is, above all, an incubator of scientific thought, and not just a place where they "mow down" from the army, use the hostel and meet girls. We are extremely interested in what research is conducted by Russian students and young scientists in the field of information security. Or is the assessment of the situation in the domestic "Harvard" and "Stanford" not too exaggerated? Consider this question a challenge to the university community.
We are not satisfied with the quality of training and the number of specialists in the field of information security. It seems to us that the majority of them disappear somewhere (the same Gilfanov went to work in Belgium) or forever goes to the “black hackers”.
Do you want to prove the opposite? Welcome!
Motivation
We will invite the authors of the best works together with co-authors and supervisors to the Positive Hack Days forum on May 30-31, 2012 in Moscow. The winners of the PHDays Young School competition will have a unique opportunity to present the results of their research in person to a wide expert audience, including leading Russian and international experts in the field of information security. Perhaps on the forum you will find an investor for your project or an interesting job in the field of information security.
For dessert - communication with the iconic figures of the information security market, participation in contests for hacking, first place among CTF viewers and, of course, a warm, sometimes fiery atmosphere.
Attention! The best research will be awarded a special prize!
Research Topics
Possible research topics may be as follows:
new attacks, classes of vulnerabilities, ways to bypass the defense mechanisms;
web application security;
malware detection; anti-detection methods;
anonymity on the Internet;
security of mobile devices and applications;
operating system security;
network attack detection; anti-detection methods;
counteraction to spam, phishing and other “social” attacks.
Respected jury
The winners will be determined by leading experts, the “fathers” of the information security industry and the leaders of research laboratories at leading universities. The review will be cross-referenced and anonymous.
