Themes

This is an overview of tasks that you can work on. The hackathon consists of two categories of tasks: 3 main open categories and Partners' Tasks. You can choose to work on one or more tasks.

The open tasks: Health, Finance, Education are open categories. It is up to you what you would like to create. If you don't have an idea - contact our Mentors, they'll help you.

The Partners' tasks are each defined by Partners. It is up to a Partner what the task is all about - it can be an open task or a task with only one solution. Please do read carefully the descriptions and rules of each task. Beware - some of the Partners' task might require you to upload the solution to a separate platform.

HARDWARE HACKING by Horus Energia - Partner's Task

Contemporary building and infrastructure is full of controls and automation. Most of modern devices, equipment and machines are controlled, monitored and connected to the internet. Including systems which are responsible for keeping us safe and secured, like security systems, fire detection and extinguishing systems, back-up and distributed power generation systems etc.

Standard industrial controllers used in those system are based on similar components and functionality. Are those controllers safe? What if those systems can be hacked and instead of protecting us, can cause hazard? As a company working in distributed and back-up power generation business, we chose a typical, high-quality stand-by power generator with a standard controller as a good example of safety related equipment. Can it be hacked? Can someone take over control of the units operation and parameters? There are few gigawatts of power installed in thousands of such power generators in Poland. What if in case of protecting against blackout or power shortage they can become a target of cyber attack to cause harm and turmoil?

We feel responsible for our clients safety and we’re working to improve standard controllers level of protection. Help us with Your skills, knowledge and ideas.

The solution - based on the input data (files containing transaction data) - should create/update the operational database as well as the chain of transaction blocks. Additionally, it should perform the following functions: informing customers (log entry) after acceptance / execution of a transaction about a registered transaction block by sending its hash, making transaction data available to the customer on the basis of a block hash given by them, restoration of the operational database based on blockchain data, reflecting the case of consistency loss or damage to the operational database due to failure or deliberate action (cyberattacks), mechanism for cyclical verification of compliance of entries in the operational database with a blockchain created indicating non-compliance and restoration of appropriate data in the operational database.

System for creation and validation of domain lists (Section 1) or System for monitoring security of automation systems (Section 2) – choose one.

Section 1 - web application for managing sets of domains split between Whitelist (entries globally allowed) and Blacklist (entries blocked). As part of the domain management, the system should validate the input data in respect of specific criteria. The output should result in a file whose format could be defined by the user from the browser level.

Section 2 – system which would monitor security level of the entire production plant divided into particular systems/resources by verifying many security aspects including patch update implementation status and staying current with antivirus and/or antimalware policies. Based on the information collected, the system should assess the criticality level on a scale of 0:0 to 10:0. Extra details a few days before HackYeah

THOUSANDS OF REASON TO TRAVEL! by PKP Intercity - Partner's Task

Comfort, safety and fast trains are only some of the benefits available to our customers. The standard of the service that we offer our passengers is our priority, however, as it often goes in the transport sector - we work in a dynamic environment, which influences the punctuality of our trains, and the time of their arrival at their destinations etc. The goal that we wish to present you with is to create the concept of a pro-customer tool, which will be available on our website - intercity.pl (and also via an application; chatbot or any other online solution), its key function is the easy and simple manner in which tickets may be purchased. In addition, the process of purchasing tickets must be accompanied by options that present information, which will help the customer to plan his/her trip and also inform the customer about train delays, a change of route, buses to replace temporarily unavailable trains, locations where the luggage storage area may be found, how to collect lost luggage, how to organize trips for people with special needs or disabilities, it is especially useful for those who need an intuitive tool. It is very important to present the concept of easy contact with PKP IC in case of any issue that is not mentioned above - Customer Service Centres must be developed throughout the country. For this purpose, geolocation should be useful to provide customers with information about the services available at each PKP railway station. We do not want to limit your creativity in such rigid and detailed tasks that is why we count on your ideas on how an online tool may be used to encourage customers to plan an inspiring trip with us. The whole scope of the services that we provide may be found in the menu on our webpage: intercity.pl. Each topic that is considered to be important (read: Position in our menu) may become a part of the tool that you are creating. The informational layout of the tool should be flexible, so that “modules” can be added as soon as they are created in order to enrich the tool. It is worth remembering that in order to make your project creative, it must incorporate future trends and directions of development in accordance with the rule “mobile first”, the concept should be user-friendly and the GUI should be easy to view.
