Crack the Chrome!

That’s what Chrome is challenging, again!

Yes, Pwnium2 hacking competition is here!

Google has announced that, it will host Pwnium 2 hacking competition this October. The event will be held  at the “Hack In The Box” 10th anniversary security conference in Kuala Lumpu, Malaysia. 

The search giant has announced the competition nearly two months in advance this time, because it received feedback that the amount of preparation time during the last contest was inadequate.

 This time the company’s offering up to a total of $2 million in rewards for anyone who can find bugs in its Chrome browser, exploit them, and detail their techniques.

While the company will pay out big bucks if security loopholes are found, 

it also states that hackers will have to reveal quite a few exploits to claim that huge a bounty. 

The contest has been divided into three categories,

Google will pay $60,000 for a full Chrome exploit using only bugs in Chrome itself!

$50,000 for a partial Chrome exploit using Chrome itself and other browser or Windows flaws such as Webkit or kernel-level flaws!

And $40,000 prize would be rewarded for a non-Chrome exploit for a bug in Flash, Windows or a driver. 

In addition incomplete or unreliable exploits may also receive a prize. "Our rewards panel will judge any such works as generously as we can," the company wrote on its Chromium Blog.

What more, the company will present an Acer Aspire V5-571-6869 laptop to the winners. Contestants will have to demonstrate their entries on the latest stable version of Chrome installed on this very laptop. The bugs thus found should be previously unknown exploits.

So why still waiting hackers…. Crack the Chrome!
