The Irish stop came to a close, with the prize money reaching millions of dollars, and the winner emerged.
Ireland's competition concluded with an astonishing prize pool exceeding $1 million, showcasing breakthrough vulnerabilities in renowned software and hardware devices. On Day 1 and Day 2, white hat hacker teams exploited high-risk vulnerabilities and tackled vulnerability collisions, ultimately uncovering over 100 zero-day vulnerabilities. The results from Day 1 and Day 2 reported that vulnerability hunters discovered 50 and 55 zero-day vulnerabilities, respectively.
Day 3 Highlights: The competition on the third day remained intense, with the prize pool nearing the million-dollar mark. Here are the main attacks and events of the day:
- Cybersecurity: And through the exploitation of a single command injection vulnerability - obtained , dollars in prize money and points. Cybersecurity further demonstrated their prowess by discovering a type confusion vulnerability in the printer and earned an additional , dollars in prize money and points.
- Research Team: and used a combination of injection, injection, and injection to exploit, obtaining , dollars and points.
- The team creatively demonstrated out-of-bounds write and memory corruption to connect a - router with a printer, print a success flag on the printer, and execute the exploit. The ingenious " " won a prize of , dollars and points.
Several instances of vulnerability collisions occurred on the third day, reflecting intense competition and attention to similar vulnerabilities. For example, . successfully cracked the camera, but due to a collision with a previous vulnerability, their prize was reduced by $, and . points. Similarly, executed a vulnerability exploit on , despite encountering similar vulnerability overlap, they still received $, and points.
Final Day Results: On the fourth day, the prize pool of the Irish stop finally surpassed the $1 million mark, with a total prize money exceeding $1 million over four days. This marks the fourth consecutive time the event has reached a seven-figure prize pool.
- Early attempts to exploit two vulnerabilities, although one had been previously exploited, still achieved partial success. This collision resulted in a reward of dollars and cents.
- The team utilized a combination of techniques and exploited a series of six vulnerabilities. Due to a vulnerability conflict, their prize was reduced to $10,000, but their efforts earned an impressive 1,000 points.
- / Ultimately, they successfully concluded the competition by exploiting an integer overflow vulnerability in the printer. Their innovative approach earned them $10,000 and 1000 points, bringing the competition to a perfect close.
Cybersecurity Triumphs in the Irish Competition With a series of impressive successful attacks, the top team won the prestigious title, accumulating a total score of points and a prize of $, dollars. Their attack scope covered devices, , printers, and other devices, showcasing comprehensive expertise in various vulnerabilities.
Ireland Station Final Ranking Highlights critical security risks in everyday devices, successfully exploiting multiple zero-day vulnerabilities in routers, devices, and devices.
