....Well, well well! It seems like our own favourite ethical african hacker, samwel kariuki, is about to meet the clan with whom he shares his talents! If you still haven't figured out who S.K is, please do your homework before falling in love with him! (yes, I said it!)

Security researchers and ethical hackers are massing up in nairobi at an undisclosed conference this time of the year. The crowd is going to be equipped and ready to hunt down every vulnerability possible in Chrome, Internet, Explorer and Java (good riddance since Java has attacked over and over again since 2013 began). And in doing so, we will be able to bag generous 'cash prizes'.
On the other hand, Google is arranging its own competition with the name of Pwnium 3 but abroad in the US. Pwnium 3 focuses on finding vulnerabilities in Chrome OS and is offering a more-than-generous $3.14159 million is reward. This particular competition will be based on Samsung S5 550 Chromebook running the latest version of Chrome OS. You will need to successfully exploit the browser or system of the device logged in as a guest or a user or "compromise with device persistence - guest to guest with interim reboot, delivered via a webpage." My readers should take in notice to upgrade and update their systems with the latest versions of softwares to stay safe from cybercrimes and attacks.Ethical hacking has been on the rise since bounty hunters tend to look for every possible way to attack a system to earn their much deserved 'prize money'. Therefore, many International companies are encouraging hackers to join them in their pursuit for safe and secure softwares, programs, systems and the like.Samwel Kariuki has made it his mission to spread awareness regarding Ethical Hacking and its advantages. Believe me people, its always better to do the right thing and get paid than do the wrong one and get caught.

Let the hunting begin!.....

Cheers!
