CYRIN CYBER RANGE Capture the Flag Contest

Sign Up for CYRIN’s First Capture the Flag Contest

Why Capture the Flag? As you know one of the most important skills in cyber defense is the ability to think like an attacker.  How will an adversary break in to your systems?  Are your sensitive files properly hidden from prying eyes?  Can a dedicated attacker steal encryption keys that would allow them to impersonate you?  Knowing how such attacks might work helps you securely configure and defend your systems.

A capture the flag (CTF) contest is a special kind of cybersecurity competition designed to challenge its participants to solve computer security problems and/or capture and defend computer systems. 

CYRIN’s Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges let you hone your skills and see how an attacker would exploit configuration weaknesses.  All participants start on a level playing field, with the same tools: a fully-loaded Kali Linux box with standard penetration testing tools.  Using these tools, your job is to break in to an unknown system on your local network.  You have three goals, arranged in increasing level of difficulty:
 
1. Read a web-accessible file that is not intended to be public.
2. Read a key file owned by a user on the target system.
3. Read a key file owned by the root (administrative) user. 
 
If you achieve the third goal, you have obtained total control over the target system - starting only from a web application!
 
If you get stuck, hints are available—but be careful, the system keeps track of which hints you request! You will be assessed based on how many of the goals you achieve, how long it takes you, and whether you required any hints to achieve the goals. 
 
Participants will be ranked as follows:
 
  • First Place (GOLD): the participant who reads all 3 flag files in the fastest time with no hints used.  Winner receives Free Level 3 Access to CYRIN FOR 1 YEAR!
  • Second Place (SILVER): participants who read all 3 flag files, with no hints used, ranked by time required. Prize –Free Level 2 Access to CYRIN FOR 1 YEAR!
  • Third Place (BRONZE): participants who read all 3 flag files, with no hints used, in the third-fastest time. Prize – Free Level 1 Access to CYRIN FOR 1 YEAR!
