[[Category:HacDC_Wiki]]

{{TOCright}}Welcome to HacDC. We are a hacker space located in Washington, DC. HacDC members improve the world by creatively rethinking technology. We break, build, and occasionally abuse technology in the pursuit of greater knowledge about how it works and repurposing it to build new things. Our shop is located in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_Heights%2C_Washington%2C_D.C. Columbia Heights] neighborhood of the District of Columbia.

If you're new here, you should start by looking at our public web site at [http://www.hacdc.org/ hacdc.org]. Our Wiki is mostly for internal organization, but you're welcome to look through to get a sense of what we work on (and consider joining yourself!). We invite you to subscribe to our [https://groups.google.com/a/hacdc.org/group/Blabber/topics Blabber] public discussion mailing list.<hr>

Capture the Flag

2023-02-20T13:50:44Z

Max:

== Build-A-CTF ==

Join us to create unique hacking CTF competitions meeting '''every Sunday at the HacDC Space'''. Sign up for events at [https://www.meetup.com/hac-dc/events/291602998/ Meetup.com].

As per Wikipedia, "A Capture the Flag (CTF) in computer security is an exercise in which "flags" are secretly hidden in purposefully-vulnerable programs or websites. It can either be for competitive or educational purposes. Competitors steal flags either from other competitors (attack/defense-style CTFs) or from the organizers (jeopardy-style challenges)."

=== Goals ===

Our first CTF aims to achieve the following goals:
# Be a ''learning experience'', for both the organizers and participants
# Be ''beginner-friendly'', open and accessible to first-time participants
# Be ''fun, engaging, and encouraging'' to newcomers to explore the wider world of cybersecurity

== Design ==

Based on the above goals, we have decided to design our first competition in the style of [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_the_hill_(game) King of the Hill] (KotH). A participant wins the event upon maintaining the sole login session on the target machine for 30 '''uninterrupted''' minutes. Participants may use any exploit to establish a session on the target machine, but are only allowed to patch the exploit that they used to enter upon establishing a session. It is in the interest of the present King to monitor the machine for sessions established by other teams, and to continue to research exploits in the event that they are dethroned by an opposing team.

=== Architecture ===

The environment will be developed in [https://gns3.com/ GNS3], a virtualization software that enables the CTF organizers to construct a purely software-based network, all within a single VM! VMs inside a VM, a.k.a. VM-ception.
