We welcome white hats to bring down the two beta-0 attacknets for reward and fame :)
Check out the new "attacknets" channel on the eth r&d discord for discussion
Ethereum has urged the participants to remain ethical and ensure that private data remains confidential. Any coder who is submitting an issue should prove that they carried out the attack themselves and offer all the related technical details.
As per Ethereum, the program will encourage and reward those who help in improving the blockchain. Hackers who can successfully take down a network will receive a $5,000 reward in either ETH or DAI. Ryan noted that while the current attacknets are relatively small and easy to hack, the subsequent ones will be tougher.
