He sings high praise of the Codebreaker Challenge and has incorporated it into several of his classes, including Cyber Attacks and Defense – where it’s 20 percent of the students’ grade. When he came to OSU in 2017, he hoped to bring the victory with him.
Jang, a self-professed hacker and champion in national hacking events, learned about the Codebreaker Challenge as a doctoral student at Georgia Tech. This will motivate other students to work toward cybersecurity and that’s important.” “I’ve created a new culture here with Codebreaker and hacking and now NSA has come to OSU. “I’m definitely excited,” said Yeongjin Jang, assistant professor of computer science at OSU and the force behind the school’s Codebreaker win. In its first foray into the challenge, OSU beat out past winners such as Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and Carnegie Mellon University. The school had more than 100 participants with 10 progressing to level five and two completing all seven levels, placing them in an elite group of just 20 others across the country to achieve the same. OSU came out of nowhere last year to win the multitier cyber challenge created to introduce students to difficult problems like those NSA deals with every day. “It was great to hear more details about the challenge and how it was created.” Zander, a junior computer science major, was one of the students thrilled to get some inside scoop into the challenge and to learn a little more about NSA. “It’s definitely an amazing challenge – more in-depth than most Capture the Flag (CTF) events I’ve been to,” he said.
