"Georgia Tech Wins NSA's Codebreaker Challenge for Third Consecutive Year"

For the third year in a row, the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) won the Codebreaker Challenge (CBC) sponsored by the National Security Agency (NSA). The CBC develops and tests students' skills in reverse engineering, computer programming, forensics, and vulnerability analysis through increasingly difficult mission-oriented scenarios mirroring some NSA-specific technical and analytic challenges. This year's CBC featured a signal with an unknown origin identified by the US Coast Guard. Students were given a series of nine tasks to find and analyze what caused the signal, discover an active collection operation tasked by a rogue server, and more. This article continues to discuss the CBC and this year's winners.
