https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5ghK6yUJv4

On August 4, 2016, seven high-performance computers successfully played a game of Capture the Flag during the Final Event of DARPA’s Cyber Grand Challenge. In doing so, they made history, proving that it is possible to automate cybersecurity. The winners: 1st Place – Mayhem, built by ForAllSecure; 2nd Place – Xandra, built by TECHx; 3rd Place – Mechanical Phish, built by Shellphish. From here, it is up to the teams and the hacker and programmer communities to continue this revolution in computer security.
