Facts

Once again, the competition will work in classic attack-defense fashion. Each team will be given a Vulnbox image to host itself and VPN access. You will run exploits against other teams, capture flags and submit them to our server.

The service decryption password will be released at 2024-09-28 12:00 UTC. The actual competition will start at 13:00 UTC and run for eight hours.

Prizes

For each service, the first team to exploit it, submit a valid flag and provide a write-up will win 64 €. We're sorry, but this year there will be no monetary prizes beyond that.

Please check our rules page for information on payout restrictions.
