Code Uncode 2014, IIT Bombay Prelims

[Ranveer Aggarwal]

Hi everyone!

CodeUncode is a national level secure programming competition with an aim to create an opportunity to generate and strengthen awareness about secure programming and bring together existing and aspiring security professionals in the field of programming.

The key initiative for CodeUncode is to hunt for country’s top secure programmers and raise the level of secure programming in India-well known as the ‘software capital of the world’.

The participants will be provided with an online questionnaire based on their domain knowledge of Secure Programming in basic C, C++, .net & Java and they will be tested on their ability to design secure programs. The goal is to provide a challenge for secure programmers to compete for the position and the title of the India’s Most Secure Programmer.

The programmers will compete at the basic preliminary round, moving on to the semi-finals and finally competing in the grand finale. There will be multiple choice questions and they will have to score the maximum in a limited period of time. After every round the top 10% of the participants will move to the next round finally moving to the finale.

The event will be conducted in 3 parts-Preliminary, Semi Finals and Finals leading to identifying the top programmers in our country.

- Preliminary Round - 90 Mins

100 multiple choice questions in basics of Secure Programming.

- Semi Final - 60 Mins

75 multiple choice and scenario based questions in elective format.

- Grand Finale - 45 Mins

10 Scenario based questions, where maximum vulnerabilities will need to be discovered and fixed to make it the most secure program.

We have the preliminary round tomorrow (24th August 2014) at 5:00 PM, NSL.

This would be a great opportunity to test your security skills, so be there!
