H3C2 or H3 Campus Challenge was inspired by the widely known DARPA Network Challenge. The challenge was held at the Georgia Tech Atlanta Campus. It was a weeklong event beginning Sunday, April 1, 2012. at 8 a.m. Ten “flags” (unique, unencrypted, wireless access points), which served as the competition’s “flags”, were activated throughout the Georgia Tech Campus; approximately 20 teams had until noon on April 7 to locate as many flags as possible. Winners were announced at 6 p.m. and congratulated at an awards ceremony. The top ten teams were asked to present a short brief describing their strategy and approach to the challenge.
Prizes included T-shirts for teams that found at least three flags, as well as technology shopping sprees of $1000, $500, and $250 for the first, second, and third highest ranked teams respectively.
