What is a Capture the Flag (CTF)?

A Capture the Flag is a contest where participants try to solve challenges individually or in teams. There are roughly 2 types of CTF matches: 'Jeopardy style' and 'Attack & Defense style'.

This event is a Jeopardy style CTF, where your team has to solve questions in different categories. Think categories like 'Web hacking', 'Forensic', 'Crypto', 'Decoding', 'Binary' and more. For each question, you have to find a flag, e.g. a small piece of text that is clearly recognisable as a flag. You must submit the found flag to the scoreboard. If the flag is correct, your team gets points for it. The number of points per flag depends on the difficulty of the question. The team with the most points at the end of game time wins!

Where, when, what time?

The event will take place on Friday 13 December 2024 at the SURF office in Utrecht. You are welcome from 08.30, when the walk-in with coffee and registration will start. After a short intro, the starting signal will be given punctually at 09:30, after which play will continue until exactly 15:30. This will be followed by the award ceremony, the Q&A and we will end the day with drinks.

Who is it for?

Capture the Flag is intended for both employees and students of SURF member institutions and fellow CERTs.
