नई दिल्ली : सबसे प्रसिद्ध सर्च इंजन गूगल ने कनाडा में होने वाली प्वनियम हैकिंग प्रतियोगिता के तहत उन अनुसंधानकर्ताओं को 27 लाख डालर देने की पेशकश की है जो उसके ब्राउजर आधारित आपरेटिंग सिस्टम क्रोम ओएस को हैक कर सकेगा.

गूगल ने एक ब्लाग में लिखा है कि क्रोमियम (क्रोम ओएस) के लिए सुरक्षा बहुत मायने रखती है इसीलिए हम सुरक्षा विशेषज्ञों से सीखने के लिए नियमित रूप से प्रतियोगिता करवाते हैं. प्वनियम जैसी प्रतियोगिता से क्रोमियम और अधिक सुरक्षित होगा.

इस साल वर्ल्ड हैकिंग प्रतियोगिता प्वनियम-4 वैंकूवर, कनाडा में होनी है.

Google to give away $2.7 million at Pwnium hacking contest

• 

(This year, Pwnium 4,…)

NEW DELHI: Search engine giant Google will offer $2.7 million to researchers who can hack its browser- based operating system, Chrome OS as part of its Pwnium hacking contest to be held in March this year.
"Security is a core tenet of Chromium, which is why we hold regular competitions to learn from security researchers. Contests like Pwnium help us make Chromium even more secure," Google said in a blogpost.

This year, Pwnium 4, will be hosted in March at the CanSecWest security conference in Vancouver, Canada.
"With a total of $2.71828 million in the pot, we'll issue Pwnium rewards for eligible Chrome OS exploits at $110,000 for browser or system-level compromise in guest mode or as a logged-in user, delivered via a web page," it said.
Google will also pay $150,000 for providing an exploit to be able to persistently compromise an HP or Acer Chromebook, i.e. hacking the device to retain control even after a reboot.
The earlier editions of Pwnium competitions focussed on Intel-based Chrome OS devices, but this year Google will allow researchers to also choose from ARM-based Chromebook, the HP Chromebook 11 (WiFi) and the Acer C720 Chromebook (2GB WiFi) based on Intel's Haswell microarchitecture.
Last year, Google had put $3.14159 million in the pot for Pwnium 3.
Google said it would consider larger bonuses this year to researchers who demonstrated what it called a "particularly impressive or surprising exploit".
"New this year, we will also consider significant bonuses for demonstrating a particularly impressive or surprising exploit. Potential examples include defeating kASLR, exploiting memory corruption in the 64-bit browser process or exploiting the kernel directly from a renderer process," it said.
