Investigate security and resilience of critical infrastructures

During the hackathon, you will research the security and resilience of critical infrastructures and creatively visualize them. To this end, the University of Twente will make scientific data available from OpenINTEL - the largest DNS measurement in the world.

Combining datasets for greater insight

You can combine the data from OpenINTEL with data from other sources to gain more insights into vulnerabilities. During the hackathon, a number of other (closed) datasets will also be offered. In addition, you can involve other, public data sources during the hackathon. Data coaches from the University of Twente will be present on the day: researchers with a lot of experience in analysing and processing large data sets.

For whom?

Cybersecurity specialists, researchers, scientists and students are welcome. Some knowledge/experience in Python, Jupyter notebooks and (relational) data structures is desirable. Experience with SQL, Apache Spark and plot libraries such as Matplotlib is a plus.
