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 sweepstakes on Instagram – find out how to participate!
DUOC UC's Fourth Cybersecurity Championship brought together students from different careers and campuses in a competition full of ingenuity, strategy and knowledge. During several stages, the teams competed by solving challenges designed to evaluate their mastery of cybersecurity, culminating in a final challenge developed by FactorIT. This technical challenge, created by our expert Victor 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 I usually apply in penetration testing and vulnerability analysis."
Andrés Rojas - 1st Place
The Fourth Cybersecurity Championship was won by Team White Hat, led by Andrés Rojas Guinel, a student of Connectivity and Network Engineering at the Antonio Varas campus, who won first place by facing the challenges individually. From Viña del Mar, the teams Shadow Breakers, formed by Felipe Cáceres and Ariel Lobos, and VulnSeekers, formed by Fernando Gómez and Rodrigo Cofré, won 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 today’s cybersecurity challenges with innovative solutions. At FactorIT, we are committed to the development of future professionals, fostering competencies that contribute to a more secure and sustainable digital transformation.
