[b] Google teases hackers with $2 million in prizes, announces Pwnium 2 exploit competition[/b]


The folks in Mountain View are starting to [url="http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/03/googles-paying-20-000-to-hack-chrome-any-takers/"]make a habit[/url] of getting [url="http://www.engadget.com/tag/hacked/"]hacked[/url] -- intentionally, that is. Earlier this year, Google hosted an event at the [url="http://www.engadget.com/tag/CanSecWest/"]CanSecWest[/url] security conference called Pwnium, a competition that challenged aspiring hackers to poke holes in its [url="http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/16/google-teases-hackers-with-2-million-in-prizes-announces-pwniu/#"]Chrome browser[/url]. El Goog apparently learned so much from the event that it's doing it again -- hosting Pwnium 2 at the [url="http://www.engadget.com/tag/HackintheBox/"]Hack in the Box[/url] 10th anniversary conference in Malaysia and offering up to $2 million in rewards. Bugging out the browser by exploiting its own code wins the largest award, a cool $60,000. Enlisting the help of a WebKit or Windows kernel bug makes you eligible for a $50,000 reward, and non-Chrome exploits that rely on a [url="http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/16/google-teases-hackers-with-2-million-in-prizes-announces-pwniu/#"]bug in[/url] Flash or a driver are worth $40,000. Not confident you can break Chrome? Don't let that stop you -- Google plans to reward incomplete exploits as well, noting that it has plenty to learn from unreliable or incomplete attacks.
