Pro results are official: hashcat 1st, Cynosure Prime close 2nd, HashMob.net Users - Pro close 3rd. There's a slight undercount for some Street hashes, where 1-4 place are all very close, so might make a difference, stay tuned.

Team hashcat has won the KoreLogic contest at #DEFCON30! It was extremely close at the end, everyone put up a great fight. Congrats to CynoSure Prime for 2nd place and to HashMob for 3rd place. Thanks to KoreLogic and Password Village for organizing this year's contest.
