Yesterday, the Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) announced the dates and contest rules for Pwn2Own 2018. Last year, we celebrated the 10^th anniversary of the event and the 11^th year is going to be bigger than ever! Pwn2Own will be returning to Vancouver, BC, at the CanSecWest Conference on March 14-16, 2018. ZDI is partnering with Microsoft for the event and VMware joins the competition as a sponsor for the first time.

Up to $2,000,000 USD will be awarded in cash and prizes at this year’s competition. Web browsers return as a target, as do virtual machine guest-to-host escapes. Enterprise applications remain as targets for this year, and Microsoft Outlook will finally make an appearance in this year’s event. The virtualization category grows by two as Oracle becomes a target, and the Windows Insider Preview Challenge includes brand new targets for Microsoft’s virtualization-based security stack. Server targets include Apache, NGINX, OpenSSL, and Windows SMB server. The title of Master of Pwn will be awarded to the contestant with the most points at the end of the contest.
