Notes on CTF game play

  • The game begins at 9 AM U.S. Central Time.
  • We’ve run this CTF for several years now, and we have not yet had an actual technical issue with a flag (other than the occasional bit of latency, which we try to avoid by being thoughtful about challenge development). If your MD5 hash submission isn’t being accepted, it is because the hash is incorrect. Keep trying! There is no penalty for wrong answers.
  • The scoreboard is not a target. Nothing except the official CTF target is a target. Please don’t attack anything except the target box.
  • When game play starts, provisioning is first come, first served. It may take a few minutes. Be patient! If you’ve been waiting for more than half an hour for your network to be provisioned, you can reach out to us on Slack.
  • Please, no spoilers in Slack channels or other public places. Everyone learns at their own pace, so don’t ruin the game for others. We may kick you out of Slack if you post flag spoilers. Harassment of other players and com

FAQ: 2018 Metasploit Community CTF

Welcome to the 2018 Metasploit CTF! Below are answers to some common questions. General reminders:

  • Provisioning is first come, first served. It may take a few minutes. Be patient!
  • The scoreboard is not a target.
  • Please, no spoilers in Slack channels or other public places. Everyone learns at their own pace; don’t ruin the game for others. We may kick you out of Slack if you post flag spoilers. Harassment of other players and community members won’t be tolerated.
  • Login emails will be locked down prior to the start of the game. You can still change your password if you forget it.
  • Metasploit Slack messages archive automatically after a certain threshold (this is just how our implementation of Slack works). If you’re worried about continuous access to your conversations, you may want to hold them outside of Metasploit’s Slack channel.
