Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative on Thursday announced the targets and prizes for the 2020 Pwn2Own competition, which is set to take place on March 18-20 in Vancouver at the CanSecWest conference.
Pwn2Own 2019 introduced the automotive category and participants were invited to hack a Tesla Model 3.
Pwn2Own 2020 participants have also been invited to hack a Tesla Model 3, but ZDI has pointed out that earning a car will be more difficult compared to last year.
"Entries against Modem or Tuner, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and Gateway, Autopilot, or VCSEC targets must achieve code execution by communicating with a rogue base station or other malicious entity. Entries against the Infotainment target must be launched from the target under test and must achieve code execution by browsing to malicious content," ZDI explained.
The browser category at Pwn2Own 2020 includes Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox, with prizes ranging between $40,000 and $100,000.
