Hack The Vote was a 48 hour Jeopardy style computer security Capture The Flag (CTF) organized and run by RPISEC on November 4th, 2016. Competitors solved challenges from a number of different common categories, including: cryptography, binary exploitation, reverse engineering, forensics and web exploitation.
The CTF was themed in the spirit of the then ongoing 2016 US Presidential Election, serving as a commentary on the ever evolving role of technology, cyber security, and hacking in modern political elections around the globe.
