A lot of guessing in crypto combined with the flag limit of 20 is such a nice combination. Not surprised that this CTF worths 5 points.

P.S. But as for me, I'd give it zero, since it doesn't even have a strict flag format, but has strict "anti-bruteforce" rules.

Was broken for a decent time at the start, challenges just randomly appeared midway through, other challenges were edited mid-competition.

First two teams who solve challs got +20%, +10% points, but challs are randomly appearing without prior warning, so if you are in the good timezone then you got the points probably.

One of the worst-organised ctfs with untested tasks, poor scoreboard and unexpected rules (like banning and -10 for several attempts or like huge bonuses for top2).

@BECHED: I admit we are not the best CTF we are just a bunch of volunteers trying to bring the game we love to the only security conference in Egypt.
But we tested the tasks in the limited time we had.
And the scoreboard was fine It just didn't have the proper code to sort by time at first, and that was fixed.
If you bothered to click the link that says "Rules" on the navbar you'd have seen the "unexpected" rules. Rule #2 and Rule #5
The bonus is there to give people a motive to finish faster and break the tie.
You seemed to be happy with the rule when it served you but now you are acting sour because someone beat you to one challenge?

And this is not a bruteforcing competition, you are not supposed to brute force the submission form, you are supposed to get the flag and submit it.
"Several attempts"? Do you call 51 bad submissions "several", i call that "a lot"... Plus you created 4 teams and users just to bypass the limit and keep bruteforcing..
If we allowed unlimited attempts the server wouldn't be able to handle all that traffic where people keep running automated tools to attack the server.

BTW one of your team threatened to create a script that change a user/pass and ruin the competition for others and demanded certain points.. i guess half of that is our fault for allowing it.. but next year you will find we edited rule #4, if you ruin the challenge for others you will be disqualified.

You are exaggerating an you are not fair with the generalization. but you (And others) do have a point though,
I promise we will have better challenges, better platform, better rules, better collaboration. and we will be better prepared for foul play.

Please write up the first web task

@Антон Прохоров
Crypto has nothing to do with guessing
I've seen a lot of people solving it using the right way
it was RC4 with know IVs as in WEP
you could have used F.M.S attack or Klein attack to solve it
and you can add me to talk more about the challenge if you like to
Regards,

@Mohab , it's not an offense, I just told my opinion. I understand that you had a limited time, but it's not an excuse ;) Generally the tasks were interesting, but not well organised.
Bonus is ok regardless of our result, I just tell you that 20%-10% bonus system is strange. Usually it's like + 3-2-1 pts, not so huge. You made a game disbalanced with such huge bonuses.
o_O I haven't heard of someone trying to threaten you, probably it was not our team.

@BECHED: You are absolutely right that's not excuse, it should've been done better. And next time it WILL be better for sure, someone gave us a CTF-guide but it was too late. We are looking to improve and we welcome all comments. And BTW you are the first one who commented about the bonuses, and we will discuss the bonus thing, and we will change it if we agreed it's unfair. I hope you enjoyed it even for a little bit, i hope you come back next year and i promise it will be better and we will consider all comments to make you have as much fun as we had writing the the challenges.

I thought the challenges were pretty well designed (except for the implementation of the environment of exp1 that one had so many people trolling :P). Even though there were the points deduction and banning rules at the start, these were rectified by the organisers quite quickly to be a little more acceptable and the points returned to the teams. Only problem with some of the challenges were that there wasn't a well-defined flag format and some of the flags were very vague.

Otherwise, I think it was a good CTF with a lot of support from the organisers during the event.

what is the flag for Eric Liang? I am a desperate man. flag{} flag{ } flag{ } csaw ctf
