Live Hacking at RomHack 2025: UNGUESS steps in with a new mission

Written by Redazione | Aug 1, 2025 8:30:48 AM

On September 27, 2025, the RomHack Conference returns to Rome with a new edition dedicated to cybersecurity. This year, UNGUESS Security will take center stage with an exclusive event:
a live hacking session on a real corporate infrastructure, a high-impact challenge open to all ethical hackers.

What is live hacking (and why it's not just a show)

The term “live hacking” may sound spectacular — and it is — but its real strength lies in realism: it means testing a real system, with real vulnerabilities, in front of a live audience.

Unlike simulations, where everything is controlled, live hacking exposes the real-life weaknesses of a corporate infrastructure — in full transparency.

💡 Did you know?
According to IBM, the average cost of a data breach is $4.45 million. And 83% of companies do not test their systems regularly under real-world conditions.

Take action with UNGUESS

Participants will get access to a real corporate infrastructure — the target’s name will be revealed only on the day of the event.
From that moment, they’ll have a limited time to analyze, test, and report vulnerabilities in real time.
No simulated environments, no theoretical exams — just hands-on action.

Every validated vulnerability will be rewarded with a bounty, and top-performing hackers will receive official recognition from UNGUESS, helping them showcase their skills and grow their professional reputation.

Who can participate?
