Quest duration: 48H

Quest format: Jeopardy

Order size: Unlimited team size

Rules

1. Don't cheat.
   Each person can only compete on one team. Sharing flags or solves between teams will lead to immediate disqualification.
2. Don't attack the infrastructure.
   Unless otherwise specified, do not run brute-force or enumeration tools such as nmap, dirbuster, or set up an AI bot to guess flags on a loop without solving the challenge. If you are unsure whether your script could be considered attacking the infrastructure, please open a ticket in the Discord.
3. AI usage is allowed, but discouraged.
   We allow any AI usage at this event. We build CTFs to (hopefully) provide educational value, so we hope competitors try to deeply understand the challenges and their solutions. We adjusted our prize pool to incentivize this.
4. Don't flag hoard.
   Submit flags as you find them and don't submit all at once toward the end.
