On September 8, 2023, the Escuela de CTFs@UZ held its third CTF (Capture The Flag) event, the second CTF in the course 2022/2023. As usual, it was a 3-hour hacking event in which participants had to solve technical challenges that required knowledge from various disciplines. The participants had to cooperate in teams of up to 2 members, although individual teams were also allowed. Both types of teams performed quite well!
The event was a success from our point of view. We had a total of 6 teams and 11 participants. During the event itself we all enjoyed the experience of facing and solving problems (both the participants and the organization!).
We prepared a series of entry-level, beginner-friendly challenges for our participants to solve.
During the competition, we published a set of challenges spread across various categories such as: Binary Exploitation, Web, Networking, Forensics, OSINT, Crypto, Steganography, and Misc.
The winning team was 10-Estudiantes.
The second place was Haquesitos
The award ceremony is still pending. We will update this with more info (and photos!) soon.
From the organization we want to thank all the participants who have enjoyed as much as we did during the execution of this CTF. We look forward to the next one! Keep hacking!
