CyberRush is an intense technical playground, bringing together 20 cybersecurity experts from leading technology and security organizations in Vietnam. With its unique “rush” format – each challenge lasts only 60 minutes, CyberRush demands that contestants analyze, react, and respond to real-world cyber-attack scenarios within a limited time frame.

CMC Telecom sent four young security experts to participate in this competition: Nguyen Cong Thanh (tsuwu), Luu Minh Thang (al3x), Tran Phi Long (NotSunde), and Huynh Le Huu Phuoc (OxB16D4ddy).
With an impressive score of 1350 points, Nguyen Cong Thanh emerged as the champion of the Credential Rush round, far surpassing his competitors. This round challenged contestants to tackle a series of real-world problems, including identifying misconfigurations in cloud infrastructure, employing credential harvesting techniques in traditional and cloud environments, and applying advanced skills such as password dumping, spraying, and shuffling, as well as exploiting vulnerabilities in authentication systems and cloud services.
