Core Wars

Purpose

A lot of people say that their machine is secure, but how many really are secure? COSSFest is setting up a hostile network with target machines, giving you a chance to see how strong your computing offense and defense skills are.

Objectives

To destroy the programs of all other contestants and be the last man standing.

You are welcome to code up your warrior and submit it during COSSFEST.
We will have a MARS arena available at COSSFEST for the contest.
