Heyya mates,

we’ve been really busy trying to take a look at the different wargames that have been running during this weekend. We had one not so far away, the Hacking At Random CTF. HAR was taking place in the Netherlands but this guys let teams to join remotely, nice huh? There was also another wargame, the ISEC2009 CTF prequals organized by or friends from Wowhacker, where two standalone pandas had a lot of fun ;D Congratulations to all the qualified teams that will play the final round next month in Seoul, South Korea. But there’s more! If you missed those two wargames or you still want more, our friend Julianno warned us about tomorrow starting the ekoparty pre-conference CTF!!!

It’s been a crazy and funny weekend. Enjoy the ekoparty CTF and see you in upcoming competitions

As you friends probably already checked at DDTEK, we finally did 5th place in this year’s Defcon CTF. Let us explain why.

This year’s contest has been interesting but weird, really really weird. The contest started after a long delay and the teams had an usb key with the binaries almost two hours before the system started to work (later we discovered some of those bins were not the same that the ones running on the servers). Once the whole thing started, the teams were scoring without knowing the real points scored by any of the teams and with a limited view of the services’ SLA (only a reduced number of the complete set of services were reported, and that caused some teams to close any service not listed in the SLA status information).

We met our friend Mudsplatter at Defcon and that’s what happened:

The point is that we were able to enter the CTF room while they were setting up things without even wearing a defcon badge. Of course this is only for the lulz while we write our usual post-ctf report. Sorry about the video quality and shouts to “Chino” Mudsplatter xDDD
