Challenges may consist of the following:

  • web attacks
  • reverse engineering
  • injection attacks
  • wifi attacks
  • brute force key guessing
  • buffer overflows 
  • programming puzzles
  • encryption puzzles
  • binary cracking
  • server intrusion
  • server defense
  • cross site scripting
  • social engineering
  • lock picking
  • footprinting
  • security tools
  • network programming
  • vulnerability testing
  • physical network challenges

Participants will be assigned randomly to a team.  These teams will be small (3-5).  The objective is for everyone to LEARN what is going on and how to solve the puzzles.  All members of the team will have to be able to explain the problem and solution to the judges. Unique techniques will be rewarded! 

The goal is more to learn than to WIN. Even though winning is fun.
