This CTF event will be scored in separate team categories: military/government/industry participants and academia participants. A range of topics will be covered for this event will include Binary Exploitation, Reverse Engineering, Web Exploitation, Cryptography, Forensics, and Security. Participants will likely appreciate the opportunity to apply their skills in real-world scenarios while also learning from others in the field.
Teams will be limited to FOUR members maximum. Teams with less than FOUR team members, can annotate “N/A” as the team member on the registration form.
Team Integrity: At no time during the conduct of the CTF can teams communicate with each other, share answers, provide hints, or in any way assist another CTF team with any of the CTF Challenges. Doing so would constitute an Integrity Violation and will result in your team being disqualified from the competition. Each individual team is expected to navigate each challenge with the knowledge and skills of the 4-team members registered on that team.
