Challenges, Talent and Recognitions at the Fourth Cybersecurity Championship!

FactorIT successfully closed the Fourth Cybersecurity Championship organized by DUOC UC, challenging students with a technical challenge designed to test their skills. Today we celebrate the winners and continue to drive innovation with a special giveaway on Instagram. Find out how to participate!

The Fourth DUOC UC Cybersecurity Championship brought together students from different courses and locations in a competition full of ingenuity, strategy and knowledge. During several stages, the teams competed by solving challenges designed to assess their mastery of cybersecurity, culminating in a final challenge developed by FactorIT. This technical challenge, created by our expert Víctor Cherif, consisted of exploiting a vulnerability in the FTP service of a machine specially configured for the competition.

“It took me about an hour to solve the challenge, following the methodology that I usually apply in penetration testing and vulnerability analysis”

Andrés Rojas - 1st Place

The winner of the Fourth Cybersecurity Championship was the White Hat Team, led by Andrés Rojas Guinel, a Connectivity and Networks Engineering student from the Antonio Varas campus, who took first place by facing the challenges individually. From the Viña del Mar campus, the Shadow Breakers teams, made up of Felipe Cáceres and Ariel Lobos, and VulnSeekers, made up of Fernando Gómez and Rodrigo Cofré, took second and third place respectively, standing out for their teamwork and technical mastery.

The Fourth Cybersecurity Championship not only celebrated the technical talent and creativity of the participants, but also reinforced the importance of facing current cybersecurity challenges with innovative solutions. At FactorIT, we are committed to the development of future professionals, fostering skills that contribute to a safer and more sustainable digital transformation. Thank you to everyone who was part of this great experience.
