Rebuilding the OS: Core System Utilities Hackathon

Overview Modern computers rely on powerful operating systems that manage files, processes, and system resources. In this hackathon, participants will build core operating system utilities from scratch. The goal is to design tools that replicate or improve fundamental system functions such as file management, task monitoring, or command execution. This challenge focuses on system design, performance, and understanding how computers work internally. Judging Criteria Functionality & Correctness – 40% How well the system works and whether it performs the intended tasks correctly.
