The Glider

With continued sponsorship by Source Fire, Hacker Stickers, as well as new sponsors Net Witness and MR. BEER we are expecting this years prizes to make the competition insane!

With a competition that only took 2 hours of a teams time... Last years winners walked away with an Apple iPad, gift cards, t-shirts, USB toys, & more.

Seats are limited, sign up today at: https://www.ariessecurity.com/ctp_signup.html

Stay tuned for prize announcements...

1.) Teams may not exceed 2 members.

2.) This is not an attack game if you're looking for that, go register for CTF. This is a discovery challenge. You may NOT attack any service, team(s), or the network. Anyone caught will be immediately removed from the game and publicly shamed.

3.) The game will consist of 8 main rounds and 1-2 final rounds. Each player/team will compete in one main round. Top scoring players/teams will be entered into the final round(s).

4.) Remember you're at Defcon. While we try to plan for everything, it is a hacker convention; there are often unforeseen equipment and personnel failures.

Q) What is CTP?
A) CTP is the ultimate network forensic scavenger hunt. In this challenge, contestants will monitor the network, look for clues, solve puzzles, and win prizes.

Q) Do I need to sign up?
A) No. Any individual or team will be allowed to play provided there is space. Signing up early however will allow us ensure there is enough space to accommodate you.

Q) How do I sign up?
A) https://www.ariessecurity.com/ctp_signup.html

Q) What's provided for me?
A) All teams will be provided access to the challenge server network, a span port for sniffing, table space, and power strips. Teams will be expected to provide their own computers, networking gear, and anything else which they might need. Tables are given on a first come first serve basis with priority given to those who register ahead of time.

Q) Is the network safe?
A) The game network should be considered extremely hostile and you should connect at your own risk. While attacking other teams is not permitted, this is Defcon, you should leave any sensitive data at home.

A) Yes, you heard it right. We created this for those of you that don't want to commit an entire weekend++ to a contest.
