Radio Frequency Capture the Flag
Do you have what it takes to hack WiFi, Bluetooth, and Software
Defined Radio (SDR)?
RF Hackers Sanctuary (the group formerly known as Wireless Village) is
once again holding the Radio Frequency Capture the Flag (RFCTF) at DEF
CON 30. RFHS runs this game to teach security concepts and to give
people a safe and legal way to practice attacks against new and old
wireless technologies.
We cater to both those who are new to radio communications as well as
to those who have been playing for a long time. We are looking for
inexperienced players on up to the SIGINT secret squirrels to play our
games. The RFCTF can be played with a little knowledge, a pen tester’s
determination, and $0 to $$$$$ worth of special equipment. Our new
virtual RFCTF can be played completely remotely without needing any
specialized equipment at all, just using your web browser! The key is
to read the clues, determine the goal of each challenge, and have fun
learning.
There will be clues everywhere, and we will provide periodic updates
via discord and twitter. Make sure you pay attention to what’s
happening at the RFCTF desk, #rfctf on our discord, on Twitter
@rf_ctf, @rfhackers, and the interwebz, etc. If you have a question -
ASK! We may or may not answer, at our discretion.
FOR THE NEW FOLKS
Our virtual RFCTF environment is played remotely over ssh or through a
web browser. It may help to have additional tools installed on your
local machine, but it isn’t required.

Hybrid Fun
For DEF CON 30 we will be running in “Hybrid” mode. That means we
will have both a physical presence AND the virtual game. All of the
challenges we have perfected in the last 2 years in our virtual game
will be up and running, available to anyone all over the world
(including at the conference), free of charge. In addition to the
virtual challenges, we will also have a large number of “in person”
only challenges. These “in-person” only challenges will include our
traditional fox hunts, hide and seeks, and king of the hill
challenges. Additionally, we will have many challenges which we
simply haven’t had time or ability to virtualize. It should be clear
that playing only the virtual game will put you in a severe available
point disadvantage. Please don’t expect to place if you play virtual
only, consider the game an opportunity to learn, practice, hone your
skills, and still get on the scoreboard. The virtual challenges which
are available will have the same flags as the in-person challenges,
allowing physical attendees the choice of hacking those challenges
using either (or both) methods of access.
THE GAME
To score you will need to submit flags which will range from decoding
transmissions in the spectrum, passphrases used to gain access to
wireless access points, or even files located on servers. Once you
capture the flag, submit it to the scoreboard right away, if you are
confident it is worth *positive* points. Some flags will be worth
more points the earlier they are submitted, and others will be
negative. Offense and defense are fully in play by the participants,
the RFCTF organizers, and the Conference itself. Play nice, and we
might also play nice.

Does this contest or event plan to have a pre-qualifier?
We prefer to accept all players,
including day of and mid-way through the game. While some of the
challenges are very serious, many of them are approachable for the
novice or even first time player.
As this contest co-locates with the RF Village, our hours are set by
the village hours, except for closing the contest a little earlier to
provide winners to the contest team in time for closing ceremonies.
Friday: 10-18
Saturday: 10-18
Sunday: 10-14
Will your contest or event be Online ONLY, in-person, or both? Both,
but with a caveat. We have had tremendous success virtualizing the
wifi and sdr challenges, and those will be available both in person
(in the air) and hybrid (accessible worldwide through our virtual
environment). Unfortunately, some wireless and radio technologies are
not so easy to virtualize, and those challenges will be in person
only. The purpose of the contest being "hybrid" is to give everyone
worldwide a chance to play and practice their skills, but the winners
will have to be present due to the percentage of meatspace only
challenge points.
