CAPTURE THE FLAG (CTF) Part 3 Sure Meinel stole the idea, but capture the flag started here. Going on the third year, the rules have changed once again to reflect the reality of letting everyone attack a network at once. This year the capture the flag network is looking to borrow any working computers that are strange, historic, goofy looking or somehow deserve to be hacked. If you're willing to bring a machine to defcon, have it hacked, and either bring or give it away, mail ctf@defcon.org. All the donated machines will be put on an ethernet network, which will have 3-5 gateway machines (in parallel) separating it from the hacking network. When the contest ends, the gateway machines will be unplugged. Whichever hacker or team has the most machines with their pgp public key in the machine's root directory wins. This year there will be a $2 dollar entrance fee, which will get you a copy of the small print rules and an ip address on the hacking network. There will be a $250 prize for the first machine hacked and the team which hacks the most machines. Last year the winner won $500 for winning in both categories. A third category may be introduced.
