Your Bluetooth headset may become a tracker; the seemingly reliable smart safe may be useless; the hotel delivery robot may be adjusted... These bizarre challenges are being staged at the GeekPwn 2021 International Security Geek Competition.

In 2021, GeekPwn was re-installed and upgraded, with the theme of "Making Intelligence Safer, Making Security Smarter", from October 15 to 24, the competition was presented in the form of an online reality show "I Am a Geek" and an offline festival "Pole Night", creating the country's first security geek competition challenge reality show "I Am a Geek".

The first safety challenge show to create a wider geek stage

Since the beginning of the focus on intelligent life, GeekPwn has been working side by side with geeks in the forefront of security for eight years, and has gradually grown into a cutting-edge platform that aggregates cutting-edge AI security, intelligent hardware security, industrial security and other explorations.

After witnessing countless "first" cracks, GeekPwn this time set its sights on a wider group of people, focusing on life scenes that are closer to the general public, creating a broader geek stage. The visual feast of the offensive and defensive show, which used to belong to the offline carnival of the network security circle, was moved to the front of the screen for the first time and displayed in an all-round way for all the audiences. Guest "Water Brother" Wang Yuheng likened it to the "3·15" of the smart circle, whether you understand network technology or not, you can learn about the security vulnerabilities in the hidden corners of life through the program. The "launch" of GeekPwn 2021 has further awakened the security alarm for the public's intelligent life, allowing the industry and manufacturers to be vigilant.

In 2021, GeekPwn created "I Am a Geek" through variety shows, and the program is currently being broadcast on Tencent Video, iQiyi, and Xiaomi video platforms. The world's 20 groups of outstanding security geeks completed the security challenges such as making the headphones change the tracker in seconds, cracking the AI face change and counterfeiting, etc. in the program, and showed the work and daily life of the geeks, so that the audience had a more comprehensive understanding of the geek group.

The competition once again invited "The Strongest Brain" host Jiang Changjian as the host, as well as "The Strongest Brain" "Ghost Talent Eye" Wang Yuheng, nine-ball diva Pan Xiaoting as the "Intelligent Life Witness Officer", the luxurious guest lineup attracted the attention of many viewers, providing a bigger display stage for security geeks.

In addition, The professional jury of the competition was formed by Wang Qi, founder of GeekPwn, "Big Bullfrog", Yu Yang, head of Tencent Security Xuanwu Lab, Wei Tao, vice president of Ant Group, Wan Tao, chief security ecological officer of HUAWEI CLOUD, Ding Shouhong, head of Tencent Youtu's face security technology, and a number of security experts with the title of "first in the industry", Wang Yu, He Qidan, Wang Haibing, Yang Zhe, and Chen Liang, who had the title of "first in the industry", to score the challenge items of the contestants and determine the ranking of the contestants on the G-TOP geek list. The top 10 safety geek teams will come to the stadium with more difficult challenge projects at the offline event "Awesome Night" on October 24, competing for the annual first, second and third place honors and generous prizes.

The show is high-energy continuously, and the future you imagine may be in front of you

In the program, in the "crack smart safe" project, the contestants only used one minute and four seconds to unlock the smart safe, and Pan Xiaoting exclaimed on the spot that "the operation is so fast"? In order to break the doubts of the show, the on-site guest "Water Brother" Wang Yuheng even personally set up a password on the stage, and the result was also quickly cracked by the contestants.

Guest Pan Xiaoting exclaimed at the scene: "My sweat and hair are standing up!" Passwords are nothing more than a problem for them! The contestants also said that they can crack at least 80% of the smart safes on the market. Why did the seemingly "indestructible" smart safe become a "paper tiger"? It is believed that the demonstration of this project will provide some thinking for relevant manufacturers to fix security problems.

In the "Hotel Delivery Robot Being Packaged" project, the contestants challenged the remote "hijacking" of the hotel service robot and successfully adjusted the takeaway package. Remote control makes the robot "obedient" for a second. After reading it, the judges were greatly amazed, saying that this is also a wake-up call to the robot industry - even if it is a robot that delivers food, we can't think of it as harmless, and we don't pay attention to the design of safety, we need to prevent micro-gradually.

Recently, AI face-changing storms have been continuous, on the one hand, AI face-changing technology has brought people a new experience, on the other hand, it has also been tormented by AI face-changing because of privacy issues. In the "AI vs AI" project, the contestants used artificial intelligence technology to determine 100 true and false videos in 15 minutes, and finally successfully challenged them with a 72% correct rate. According to the judge Big Bullfrog (Wang Qi), the correct rate of 72% is equivalent to the level of the world's top ten.

"Everyone can be a victim, either we are forged or we are deceived. Through this competition, we hope to eliminate this worry and let artificial intelligence help us solve it if we can't see it. For the significance of the project, the program judge "Big Bullfrog" Wang Qi commented.

Wonderful projects such as "Bluetooth headset transformation tracker", "insulin is hijacked", "the company printer has been tampered with", "access control card has been cracked and used" are being brilliantly presented in the program, bringing people a new cognition and experience.

The original intention remains unchanged, and the risk escort industry is rehearsed

Since its inception in 2014, GeekPwn has had hundreds of cutting-edge security achievements staged on the GeekPwn stage, through the rehearsal of security risks, to help manufacturers repair security issues, protect user information and property security of the important force.

With the theme of "make intelligence safer, make safety smarter", the geek reality show "I am a geek", with unlimited rules and unlimited propositions, goes all out to fight against real-world security flaws, and will open the strongest brain battle at the 24th offline grand ceremony "Awesome Night", what kind of inspiration spark will burst out of the security geek team? Let's wait and see.
