This year, we are pleased to announce the launch of the 2023 edition of Capture The Flag (CTF) event "Attacks on Logic Locking, Obfuscation, Fine-grain Hardware Redaction, & Routing Table Configuration" (HeLLO) [See the attached flyer for the event]. This is a continuation from our last year’s successful event, which is part of the ongoing Red Team-Blue Team exercises in the field of hardware IP protection. This joint effort (co-organized by UF, TAMU, & UMD) emphasizes on figuring out the vulnerabilities inherent to the logic locking, obfuscation, logic redaction, and routing table reconfiguration schemes and proving the effectiveness of the defense against attacks by inviting Red Teams all over the world.
