Collaborate Disseminate
Organizers said 100 leads were generated every 10 minutes by contestants using OSINT – open-source intelligence such as online searches. Continue reading 350+ hackers hunt down missing people in first such hackathon
It’s students versus cybersecurity experts in the March Madness of Security Have you filled out your bracket yet? Not the one for the NCAA Tournament, but for the annual National Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (NCCDC), presented by Raytheo… Continue reading Cybersecurity: Collegiate Hackathon Helping Advance Students, Industries
Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) are hot technologies with significant promise for shaping the future, but it isn’t enough to understand ML or AI theory. Sure, you can gain a lot of knowledge and information from reading and… Continue reading Hackathon Uses Machine Learning to Improve Cybersecurity
Vegetables, DDoS attacks, and soundwaves… no, really.

We live in an amazing time where the availability of rapid prototyping tools and expertise to use them has expanded faster than at any other time in human history. We now have an amazing ability to quickly bring together creative solutions — perfect examples of this are the designs for specialized arm prosthetics, Braille printing, and custom wheelchair builds that came together last week.
Earlier this month we published details about the S.T.E.A.M. Fabrikarium program taking place at Maker’s Asylum in Mumbai. The five-day event was designed to match up groups of makers with mentors to build assistive devices which …read more

Simple to learn, hard to master, a lifetime to kick the habit. This applies to a lot of computer games, but the T-rex Runner game for Chrome and its various online versions are particularly insidious. So much so that the game drove one couple to build a real-world version of the digital game.
For those not familiar with the game, it’s a simple side-scroller where the goal is to jump and duck a running dinosaur over and under obstacles — think Flappy Birds, but faster paced. When deciding on a weekend hackathon project, [Uri] thought a real-life version of the …read more

We’re excited to be hosting the first annual Hackathon at IT/Dev Connections 2017.
This Hackathon is a community-driven event with the goal of bringing together two diverse attendee groups to create an Enterprise-class Alexa skill! So, not only will IT/Dev Connection 2017 attendees benefit, but you might have a great Alexa Skill to take back and use on a regular basis.

To keep hackers fueled and hacking, why not hack a coffee maker into a coffee brewing robot? [Carter Hurd] and [David Frank] did just that at The Ohio State’s Hack OHI/O 24 hour Hackathon. They even won the “Best Hardware Hack”. The video below shows it in action but the guys sent us some extra details on how it’s made.
To give it a voice they put Alexa on a Raspberry Pi. Using an audio splitter they have the voice go both to a speaker and to an Arduino. The Arduino then uses the amplitude of the audio signal’s positive …read more

Food. A necessary — often delicious — interruption of whatever project you’re currently hacking away at. Ordering takeout gets expensive and it’s generally unhealthy to subsist solely on pizza. With the Sandwich-O-Matic, a simple voice command fulfills this biological need with minimal disturbance of your build time.
Built for a thirty-six hour hackathon, the Sandwich-O-Matic is controlled by a Photon and an Arduino. The backend is running node, hosted on AWS, and Google Cloud was used for voice to text recognition. This thing is a fully automated and voice controlled sandwich building station. A DC motor services the toaster, while …read more
