    DEFCON 17 CTF Qualifier announced dispite conficker

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    1 APRIL 2009

    DEFCON CTF QUALIFIER ANNOUNCED

    Defense Diutinus Technologies Corp (ddtek) is pleased to announce the round of
    qualification for DEFON 17 CTF.

    The competition will be held on 5-7 June - without a stop, participants can be
    located everywhere. All are to play, but only the 9 best groups will
    be invited to join us in Las Vegas for the annual DEFCON ninja square off. We
    also intend to honour the code of the former CTF host and automatically qualify
    last years champion, the sk3wl of r00t (although we sincerely hope them to
    participate in qualifications).

    The qualification round will be in the style of game board, but answers need not
    be in the form of a question. Categories will require teams to demonstrate the
    superiority of hacking into a vast relm of security.

    You must be registered for participate.

    Registration site: http://ddtek.biz/ctf/register.html
    Registration opens: 01.04.2009 00:00:00 UTC
    Registration ends: 04.06.2009 00:00:00 UTC

    Qualifications open: 05.06.2009 23:00:00 UTC
    Qualifications ends: 07.06.2009 23:00:00 UTC

          I just tried the link and it is working for me. Just make sure your java is up to date. (Using latest firefox btw)

          or possibly destroying, I haven't figured that out yet.

            A better question might be, why Java in the first place!

                I just tried it and it said I didn't have conficker installed and I needed to install it. :)
                A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.

                  You have to make sure you don't have zero-minute technology implemented.

                            I tried to register and got - "If you can't read an error message and fix a system problem, don't fucking compete in the challenge. Thanks.".

                            Can anyone help? [troll dnr]

                              qualifications are this weekend!

                              We will be stopping the registrations at 60 minutes prior to qualifications starting, so make sure your register was successful before then!
