Pwn2Own, organized by ZeroDayInitiative, is an event specifically for hackers that takes place twice a year. White hat hackers participate in Pwn2Own to earn rewards by executing suspicious code or compromising the security and privacy of devices.
The first day of the 2024 event awarded $516,250 in bounties for over 50 unique zero-day vulnerabilities. Day two awarded $358,625. Ken Gannon, using five vulnerabilities including path traversal, successfully obtained a shell and installed an application on the Samsung Galaxy S24. This earned him $50,000 and five Master of Pwn points.
Public information reveals that Pwn2Own aims to encourage hackers to discover and report security vulnerabilities, enabling manufacturers to promptly patch security issues and enhance product security. In recent years, Pwn2Own has gained increasing attention and attracted more and more participation from white hat hackers.
