Show off your security skills: announcing Pwnium 4 targeting Chrome OS
čtvrtek 23. ledna 2014
Security is a
core tenet
of Chromium, which is why we hold
regular competitions
to learn from security researchers. Contests like Pwnium help us make Chromium even more secure. This year Pwnium 4 will once again set sights on Chrome OS, and will be hosted in March at the
CanSecWest
security conference in Vancouver.
With a total of $2.71828 million USD in the pot (
mathematical constant
e
for the geeks at heart), we’ll issue Pwnium rewards for eligible Chrome OS exploits at the following levels:
$110,000 USD: browser or system-level compromise in guest mode or as a logged-in user, delivered via a web page.
$150,000 USD: compromise with device persistence: guest to guest with interim reboot, delivered via a web page.
New this year, we will also consider significant bonuses for demonstrating a particularly impressive or surprising exploit. Potential examples include defeating
kASLR
, exploiting memory corruption in the 64-bit browser process or exploiting the kernel directly from a renderer process.
Past Pwnium competitions have focused on Intel-based Chrome OS devices, but this year researchers can choose between an ARM-based Chromebook, the
HP Chromebook 11
(WiFi), or the
Acer C720 Chromebook
(2GB WiFi) that is based on the Intel Haswell microarchitecture. The attack must be demonstrated against one of these devices running the then-current stable version of Chrome OS.
Any software included with the default installation may be used as part of the attack. For those without access to a physical device, the
Chromium OS developer’s guide
offers assistance on getting up and running inside a virtual machine, but note that a virtual environment might differ from the physical devices where the attack must be demonstrated.
To make sure everyone has enough time to demonstrate their exploit, we will require participants to register in advance for a timeslot. To register, e-mail
pwnium4@chromium.org
.
Registration will close at 5:00 p.m. PST Monday, March 10th, 2014
. Only exploits demonstrated on time in this specifically-arranged window will be eligible for a reward.
The
official rules
contain more details, but standard Pwnium rules apply: the deliverable is the full exploit, with explanations for all individual bugs used (which must be unknown); and exploits should be served from a password-authenticated and HTTPS-supported Google App Engine URL.
See you in Vancouver!
