An army of hackers might sound like a malicious threat, but some of the world's most skilled are instead using their knowledge for good. They've spent the week sneaking into each other's computers on the Gold Coast, as part of a cybersecurity's top competition.

00:02100 hackers with a single mission.
00:05We are given a bunch of programs that, just like programs in the real world, have various vulnerabilities that could
00:11be attacked.
00:12Teams of students from around the world poke and prod each other's digital defences, searching for sabotage.
00:19We just need to hunt them down and exploit them.
00:23It's the International Cybersecurity Challenge.
00:26We've been working on this for so long. It's wonderful to see everyone again.
00:30Like, this is one of my favourite events to do of the year.
00:32It's also pretty much the World Cup of all cyber competitions in the world.
00:36This is a simulation of real-world threats, pitting country against country in a game of attack and defence.
00:43But by learning how the bad guys think, these hackers are devising new defences.
00:48If I can find something, some weakness in a company and tell them about it and they can fix it,
00:53that's a lot better than some bad guy coming in and breaking it.
00:57And Australia's top brass are taking notice.
01:00We meet at a time when the cyber threat environment is broader, faster and more complex than ever.
01:06This gives us a great community of people who are actually trained to do the right things for cybersecurity.
01:12The winning nation will be crowned tonight, an outcome governments and business will be watching.
01:23I guess I try to see in the world of people, sinned, my Deus, by playing in a world of
01:24computer fiction,
01:24but basically it will be getting the most brutal and Gordon Chan rise.
01:24So, again, if I do in a world of community, I think I am who is trying to solve the
01:24field.
01:24I care to do the sv 설�ợ of whatever you know, and when I am playing a real player.
01:24I will be using the mods for this case, by doing nothing.
