Hack It If You Can Challenge

The Computing for Social Good Lab has launched a “hack it if you can” challenge for our voting system. The goal is to get our technology to flip votes, undetected. Specifically, can the system be hacked to change votes such that it cannot be detected. We are going to offer $800 to the first team or individual that is successful, $500 to the 2nd team/individual and $200 to the 3rd team/individual or all teams are entered for the 3rd place lottery, assuming there’s a team or individual that can hack it. If no one can hack it, we will have the lottery. 

It’s open to undergrads, MS, PhD students and anyone willing to try to hack our voting system. We will give each team/individual access to our voting system in one of the labs for 3 days. They will have exclusive access. At the end of the 3rd day, they will have to show evidence of the hack or surrender the hack. 

Here’s the link with the instructions:
