Zimperium has launched the “Andorid Network Tool-Kit (zANTI) - Pentester’s Worldcup,” a competition that offers security enthusiasts the chance to test their skills in cracking mobile systems.

“We live in a dangerous mobile world today, and our goal is to significantly raise awareness about security and take steps toward securing our mobile future,” said Itzhak “Zuk” Avraham, the founder of Zimperium.

“The World Cup also presents an opportunity for the world’s best hackers to challenge our products and make them better.”

Participants will utilize Zimperium’s zAnti Penetration Testing application to find vulnerabilities and perform various operations, each task being rewarded with a certain number of points.

The security researcher who gathers most points will become a zNinja and will have the opportunity to take part in this year’s Black Hat convention in Las Vegas.

Pentester’s Worldcup ends on July 16, so if you think you have what it takes, be sure to sign up.
