Operation: Hack is a proposed hackclub YSWS where you get loot for writing an OS's[^1] kernel (starting from scratch) for reaching certain milestones, which you can exchange for real-world prizes! The ideas for milestones(all optional and loot may be adjusted for different types of kernels) are listed below(in no particular order):
Operation: Hack is a proposed hackclub YSWS where you get loot for reaching certain milestones in writing an OS[^1], which you can exchange for real-world prizes! You'll be starting with the kernel and eventually get to writing userspace programs. The kernel isn't the "core" part of the OS necessarily, but it is usually the first thing that runs when the computer starts up. It (generally) provides abstractions of the hardware to programs running in userspace (which includes the OS) along with managing process/memory safety (i.e. preventing running processes from accessing memory that isn't theirs) and more!
The ideas for milestones(all optional and may be adjusted for different types of kernels, along with loot values probably changing in the future) are listed below(in no particular order):
- Successful first boot before halting the CPU: 50 loot
- Output a debug message to a serial port: 50 loot
