About SHEHacks
SHEHacks is a competition designed to empower young women and foster gender diversity in the field of cybersecurity. This project is inspired by Capture the Flag (CTF) competitions, where participants engage in solving security-related challenges to uncover hidden data, known as "flags." The competition will test and enhance participants’ skills in various areas, including encryption, reverse engineering, web application and server penetration, and binary exploitation.

SHEHacks, Aim To
Encourage young women to pursue careers in cybersecurity.
Provide hands-on experience and specialized training.
Enhance problem-solving and technical skills.
To create a network of young women in tech for ongoing support and collaboration.
To facilitate career opportunities and professional development.
Eligibility

The competition is exclusively open to young women who meet the following criteria:
• Must have a desire to learn about information security.
• Participants can be from inside or outside the Kingdom.
• Participants should be between the ages of 17 and 30 years.

Competition Challenges
Encryption

Participants will learn and apply encryption principles, identify and exploit weaknesses in flawed implementations, and enhance their skills in data security. The challenge aims to deepen their understanding of protecting sensitive information using various encryption techniques.

Web Exploitation/ Penetration

Websites all around the world are programmed using various programming languages. While there are specific vulnerabilities in each programming language that the developer should be aware of, there are issues fundamental to the internet that can show up regardless of the chosen language or framework.

Binary Exploitation

In this challenge players will be asked to find a vulnerability (Binaries, or executables) in the program and exploit it to gain control of a shell in order to modify the program's functions.

Reverse Engineering

In this challenge the players will be required to take a compiled (machine code, bytecode) program and convert it back into a more human readable format. Very often the goal of a reverse engineering challenge is to understand the functionality of a given program such that you can identify deeper issues.
