Fabian and Diana where placed on the same team while Lyan was assigned a different one. All the groups used their own approach to solve the challenge and used different programming languages. Fabian’s and Diana’s team used Python while Lyan’s team used Java. They key to willing this challenge was to distribute tasks based on each team members background, some worked on a Sniffing tool and the message sending tool while others worked on developing the encryption and decryption methods. It was a group effort. The evaluation criteria was: building your own sniffing tool, how many messages were sent successfully within the team, and how many encrypted messages were captured and decrypted. In the end Fabian’s and Diana’s team tied for first place with Lyan’s team.The two teams that tied for first place in the Security Code-a-thon Competition, were the teams with students from Polytechnic University.
