In India we were waiting to see any ‘hacking’ magazine to happen and the wait was getting little longer. So finally ClubHack decided to come out with its own 1st Indian “Hacking” Magazine called CHmag. We at ClubHack are very much excited about the magazine and this fits into our main objective of making hacking and information security a common sense for a common man. We hope to add a lot of sections in future, all we need is input from you on what would you like to see in your magazine Moving further we need a lot of help form the whole information security community of the country to make this a success
This is a hacking challenge focussed on web applications and challenges both hackers as well as coders. Each team gets a Ubuntu VM with a vulnerable Java application. The team gets about an hour to go through the application to identifiy vulnerabilities in the code and make appropriate code changes to fix these issues.
After an hour the IP addresses of each team’s VM is made available to other users. At this point the teams access the applications of the other teams and hunt for vulnerabilities in them.
Positive points are awarded for each vulnerability that a team identifies on other’s application. Negative points are awarded for each vulnerabilty that is discovered on the team’s application.
The team with the most number of points at the end, win.
Points can vary based on the complexity of the vulnerability.

ClubHack is very happy & excited with the new feather in its cap.
ClubHack2009 will now be extended to third day where on last day (i.e. 7th Dec 2009) “ClubHack”, “City University, London” and “UK Science and Innovation Network, British High Commission in India” will jointly host a roundtable conference on Indo-UK cyber security issues.

NDTV took an interview and a few bytes on 6th December in ClubHack but somehow they telecasted it as wardriving report.
Few clarifications here.
1: its not a group of students-turned-hackers
2: not even teenagers
