This is a neat idea, nicely presented. The proposal appeals to a wide audience by explaining the defensive significance of the tools it asks participants to develop. Is there any reason to think that people who were directly or indirectly involved in proposing this challenging are also interested in offensive applications, and chose not to talk about them?

Yes, the competition is run by DARPA.
