Rules of Engagement

The teams are ranked on the sum of points earned from solving challenges on the scoreboard.
In the event of a tie, the team that reaches the score first will be ranked higher than the others.

Respect all teams, participants, admins, and the event environment.
Report any issues or rule violations to event admins promptly.
Maintain good sportsmanship. Any behavior deemed unsporting will lead to disqualification.

Hints will not be provided. Do not spam admins for hints.
Do not discuss event challenge solutions or share flags with other teams. Flag sharing will lead to immediate disqualification.
Do not share challenge solutions before the event has ended.

The challenge descriptions will specify the host and port(s). Do not perform port scanning unless it is explicitly allowed in the challenge details.
If a target host is down or unavailable, please do adequate testing before reaching out. We will restore it as fast as possible, but it may cost you valuable participation time.
Do not overload systems with unnecessary requests. Stay focused on the challenge requirements.
Automating requests to this platform is strictly prohibited.
