This morning, we successfully concluded the HackTheSilicon session at DATE'25, hosted in Rhône 4. Hosted by DATE 25 and organized by HackTheSilicon Team at TU Darmstadt -System Security Lab, Germany, Texas A&M University, USA, and Intel.
The last 48-hour HACK@DATE'25 competition, which started in December 2024, was a high-intensity session.

What happened? The top teams who advanced to Phase 2 gathered onsite to:
Receive the final competition briefing
Engage in intense bug hunting and supervised debugging
Interact live with our HackTheSilicon team during Q&A
Showcase top-tier hardware security testing in action!

This hands-on session wasn’t just a competition finale — it provided a unique opportunity for attendees to witness high-level hardware security testing in action and gain insights into the competition dynamics.

Huge thanks to all participants, observers, and supporters. You made this morning both exciting and inspiring.
