The worldwide cyber security contest GeekPwn 2018 in Vegas and Shanghai offers prize pool of $800,000 USD with Challenges of PWN, CAAD, Robot and Hacker Room
SHANGHAI, April 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- KEEN has invited global security experts to participate GeekPwn 2018, its worldwide security geek contest for "PWNing" devices and systems to bring about a safer smart life. The GeekPwn 2018 contest will be held in Las Vegas in August (around the same time as top contest DEF CON) with a carnival session being held in Shanghai in October. Maximum individual prize awarded will be $150,000 for each PWN competition, of a total pool of 5 million RMB ($800,000).GeekPwn 2018 will include Special Challenges and PWN Everything Challenges. The Special Challenges, featuring different scenarios in fields such as security, AI and machinery, include CAAD or Competition on Adversarial Attacks and Defenses (Las Vegas), Robot Agent Challenge (Las Vegas/Shanghai) and the Hacker Room Challenge (Shanghai). PWN Everything, which encourages contestants to find security vulnerabilities and creative PWN methods, is divided into Vulnerability based PWN (Shanghai) and Non-Vulnerability based PWN (Las Vegas/Shanghai).
GeekPwn 2018 will create a global platform for cyber security researchers and experts, with technical advantages and diversified and out-of-box mechanisms. The new setup of challenges and rules are going to open wider horizons for security development and establish a security contest benchmark globally.
*CAAD makes AI more Secure*
GeekPwn will organize CAAD (Competition on Adversarial Attacks and Defenses) in Las Vegas in August. CAAD is focusing on sample studies of machine learning or AI confrontation between "attack" algorithm and "defense" algorithm. What is learned from the confrontation could potentially be adopted in the battlefields of cyber warfare in future. GeekPwn is honored to have top AI experts as CAAD judge committee members, including Ian Goodfellow and Alexey Kurakin from Google Brain and professor Dawn Song from UC Berkeley.
Though it is important to train AI algorithms, the potential threats of AI can't be ignored, which manifest themselves most seriously in the fields of cybercrime, physical attacks and political interference. GeekPwn, the first worldwide security geek contest covering AI security, also focuses on these AI security issues.
Each of the three CAAD sub-competitions has a maximum prize of $30,000 USD.
*Robot Agent and Hacker Room Challenge *
Besides PWNing traditional devices, robots have joined the battlefield in GeekPwn for the first time. In the Robot Agent Challenge in Las Vegas, each team is required to make an "Agent" robot with arms, which can "sneak into" an office and hack different physical facilities. Contestants will control the robots to bypass laser intrusion detectors and surveillance cameras, leave a covert listening device, open a safe by a entering password using a keyboard, boot target computers from USB devices, and so on. The maximum prize awarded in the challenge will be $30,000.
Another highlight of GeekPwn 2018 is the Hacker Room Challenge. This innovative contest showcases the whole process of "attack and defense" in the hacking world in a stereoscopic and proactive way, which makes GeekPwn 2018 the year's most exciting and interesting contest or "GeekGame".
*PWN Everything on Vulnerabilities and Methods *
To better protect people's smart life in the digital age and ensure AI's development in a sustainable way, GeekPwn will continuously accept PWNs on a wide variety of targets. Contestants are encouraged to find security vulnerabilities of target systems or try new creative PWN methods. Smart devices, AI products, libraries, frameworks and IoT products that are commercially available or widely used are all acceptable PWN targets.
In Vulnerability-based PWN (Shanghai), attackers can get system control, access private data or break through original security mechanisms by exploiting security vulnerabilities. For example, contestants obtain the admin rights of a facial recognition door by using logic errors or control others' drones by simulating the control app.
In the Non-Vulnerability based PWN (Las Vegas/Shanghai), the attack is not exploiting target systems' vulnerabilities, but using new creative methods to PWN. For example, an attacker uses machine learning to study a specific human voice and simulates it to get past a voice recognition system.
The maximum individual prize awarded will be $150,000 USD for each PWN, the largest prize of all GeekPwn 2018 contests.
*About GeekPwn: *
As one of the world's leading platforms for cybersecurity researchers, GeekPwn enables security researchers and executives around the world to share their thoughts and findings. Since 2014, GeekPwn has successfully held 8 sessions in Beijing, Shanghai, Macau, Hong Kong and Silicon Valley, and responsibly disclosed hundreds of critical security vulnerabilities and awarded millions in USD to contestants.

Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries Names Dell Inc as Winner of its 2018 Design for Recycling Award
Dell’s Latitude 5590 & 5285 designed to be highly recyclable
Las Vegas, April 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In recognition of its concerted effort to design its Latitude 5590 laptop and 5285 2-in-1 with recyclability being of high importance, the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industry (ISRI) names Dell Inc. as its 2018 Design for Recycling® (DFR) Award winner. The DFR Award is ISRI’s most prestigious award given annually to the most innovative contribution to products designed with recycling in mind. It recognizes proactive steps made by manufacturers that have actively incorporated DFR principles into products and processes.
“Dell has a proven commitment to incorporating recyclability into its innovative product designs,” said Robin Wiener, president of ISRI. “Having also won in 2014 for the Latitude 10 and XPS 10 tablets and Latitude E7240 laptop, Dell becomes the first two-time recipient of the DFR award. Dell has continued its groundbreaking designing by incorporating gold recycled from old electronics into its new products and ensuring that when Dell products reach the end of life stage, they can be recycled in a safe, environmentally-friendly manner. ISRI is once again proud to honor Dell with the Design for Recycling Award.”
All Dell Latitude notebooks are designed to be more than 97 percent recyclable. The Latitude 5590 has additional features making it even easier to recycle. It contains a removable battery, is free of harmful substance such as mercury, eliminated the use of glues and adhesives, contains a modular design making easier to access and disassemble, and uses standardized fasteners. The Latitude 5285 2-in-1 convertible notebook was launched in 2017 using gold recycled from used electronic products. Dell became the first PC manufacturer to use recycled gold in its motherboards rather than mining it.
“We are honored to receive the 2018 ISRI Design for Recycling (DFR) Award for the Latitude 5590 and Latitude 5285 2-in-1 products,” says Darrel Ward, SVP Commercial Client Business Unit at Dell. Dell has taken a sustainability lens to product design since the beginning. Since 2008, we have used more than 50 million pounds of recycled materials into products including plastics, carbon fiber and now gold. Our use of recycled materials and new innovations may not always be visible to the eye, but it is important to customers and the environment. This award validates the innovation and thoughtfulness we put into each and every product, and we’re dedicated to pushing responsible design principles forward.”
Dell received the award during the 2018 ISRI Convention and Exposition in Las Vegas. To be eligible for ISRI’s Design for Recycling® Award, a product must be designed/redesigned and manufactured to:
· Contain the maximum amount of materials that are recyclable;
· Be easily recycled through current or newly designed recycling processes and procedures;
· Be cost effective to recycle whereby the cost to recycle does not exceed the value of its recycled materials;
· Be free of hazardous materials that are not recyclable or impede the recycling process;
· Minimize the time and cost involved to recycle the product;
· Reduce the use of raw materials by including recycled materials and/or components; and
· Have a net gain in the overall recyclability of the product while reducing the overall negative impact on the environment.
ISRI began presenting the award more than 10 years ago. Previous winners include EcoStrate, Samsung, LG Electronics, Inc., Cascades Fine Papers Group, Hewlett-Packard, The Herman Miller Company, and Wind Simplicity.

Las Vegas, April 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In recognition of its concerted effort to design its Latitude 5590 laptop and 5285 2-in-1 with recyclability being of high importance, the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industry (ISRI) names Dell Inc. as its 2018 Design for Recycling® (DFR) Award winner. The DFR Award is ISRI’s most prestigious award given annually to the most innovative contribution to products designed with recycling in mind. It recognizes proactive steps made by manufacturers that have actively incorporated DFR principles into products and processes.
“Dell has a proven commitment to incorporating recyclability into its innovative product designs,” said Robin Wiener, president of ISRI. “Having also won in 2014 for the Latitude 10 and XPS 10 tablets and Latitude E7240 laptop, Dell becomes the first two-time recipient of the DFR award. Dell has continued its groundbreaking designing by incorporating gold recycled from old electronics into its new products and ensuring that when Dell products reach the end of life stage, they can be recycled in a safe, environmentally-friendly manner. ISRI is once again proud to honor Dell with the Design for Recycling Award.”
All Dell Latitude notebooks are designed to be more than 97 percent recyclable. The Latitude 5590 has additional features making it even easier to recycle. It contains a removable battery, is free of harmful substance such as mercury, eliminated the use of glues and adhesives, contains a modular design making easier to access and disassemble, and uses standardized fasteners. The Latitude 5285 2-in-1 convertible notebook was launched in 2017 using gold recycled from used electronic products. Dell became the first PC manufacturer to use recycled gold in its motherboards rather than mining it.
