SUMMARY:Chasse Partie Systems CTF\, Friday 10:00-18:00
DESCRIPTION:.. [/URL]\n \n\n\n..\n\nChasse Partie Systems CTF\n\nHybrid - O
 nline and In-person\nFriday and Saturday: 10:00 - 18:00\nSunday: 10:00 - 1
 3:00\nWest Hall 4\n\nThe inception of this distinctive event occurred at D
 EF CON 31\, initiated by a fortuitous encounter with CookieT while partici
 pating in LineCon for merch. Our shared passions fostered an immediate bon
 d\, and it was amidst this camaraderie that the idea for a future challeng
 e germinated. Having previously engaged participants with puzzle-embedded 
 challenge coins\, I (Chasse) was inspired to expand the concept beyond a m
 ere cipher. The aim was to design a contest that would appeal across a bro
 ad spectrum of skill levels by integrating a variety of puzzles\, both mod
 ern and traditional\, to attract a wider audience from a complete beginner
  new to the hackerspace to the more seasoned and advanced hacker. Observin
 g the collective enthusiasm as participants unraveled the first simple coi
 n puzzle was exhilarating\, yet the quick resolution of the puzzle occasio
 nally detracted from the overall experience for more advanced puzzle solve
 rs. Throughout DEF CON 31\, CookieT and I explored the feasibility of a we
 b-based challenge CTF\, laying the foundation for what would evolve into a
  pioneering contest and experience. Later Raven emerged from the shadows o
 f cyberspace to help us chisel out the contest from Zeroes and Ones\nWith 
 the announcement of DEF CON 32's theme\, our concept was honed\, ready to 
 blend our creative talents into this year's challenge. We crafted an innov
 ative combination of a narrative-driven journey game\, scavenger hunt\, an
 d web-based Capture The Flag (CTF) challenges\, all meticulously aligned w
 ith the DEC CON 32 "Engage" theme. This contest emerges as a holistic plat
 form\, introducing DEF CON newcomers to core security principles through a
 n engaging narrative. Spanning a variety of fields including OSINT\, crypt
 ography\, radio\, telephony\, password\, and web security. It promises a r
 ich\, diverse experience! Participants\, automatically divided into teams\
 , are propelled on a quest to decode puzzles and unearth flags\, with chal
 lenges designed to suit everyone from novices to veterans seeking sophisti
 cated\, intricate challenges. This contest transcends the conventional com
 petition framework\, evolving into an artful endeavor that illustrates the
  symbiosis of storytelling and technical puzzles to create a deeply immers
 ive learning adventure. Imagined as an interactive storybook\, it invites 
 attendees to navigate their own routes\, making their own choices that lea
 d them through a story-rich exploration of security concepts and engagemen
 t even with each other.\nThe technical infrastructure of this experience i
 s built on varied technologies. The main website\, [URL="https://www.chass
 epartie.com/"]https://www.chassepartie.com (filedata/fetch?id=249397&d=171
 8449253)\, is developed with Ruby on Rails 7.1 and hosted on Heroku\, with
  CloudFlare acting as our Web Application Firewall (WAF). This site functi
 ons as the scoreboard and narrative hub of the contest. Additionally\, we 
 have set up an XCP-NG hypervisor to host approximately 10 to 15 virtual ma
 chines as targets for participant engagement. Augmented reality markers ar
 e also in place\, intended for deployment in communal areas like sticker b
 oards\, to enhance the experience. These elements are interwoven with the 
 storyline\, guiding attendees through what we believe is an unprecedented 
 adventure-style CTF challenge named Chasse Partie Systems – Dystopian Ap
 ocalypse Resistance Terminal.\n\nSo come and join us on our deviant journe
 y\, what are you waiting for?
