Life imitating cards - DARPA's Cyber Grand Challenge makes real-life ICE and self-defending servers

I just heard about this today, it’s a pretty cool challenge by DARPA to use program analysis to automatically detect intrusions and patch vulnerabilities in real time without human intervention. Several team’s servers are playing a version of capture the flag through exploiting each other’s vulnerabilities in cyberspace.

Here’s a highlights video - the “eSports” style presentation is a little over the top, but the data visualization is everything I wanted the future to be after I read Neuromancer. This is a video describing the view, which maps a program’s execution in 3D space.

What do you think? Is this how the first Ice Wall is born?

Turn the power off and steal the BR with a drone.
Unlike irl, “there is rules”, so meh. If hackers can’t do everything they’d like it’s stupid.

I like how one of the racks is labelled Deep Red and has a Knight figure on it.

edit: or rather how the team is called Deep Red.
