This is a long conversation.... With beer. 1. Set levels, have a easy system, a hard system and a very hard system to get to. 2. Have apps. Web apps make the game fun. 3. Have a narrative. There should be a thread or a consistent story for the CTF. 4. Have systems you cannot get into. You will be surprised. HTH, john On Aug 5, 2009, at 4:17 PM, Chris Bentley wrote:
Hi John, Any pointers on how to setup a CTF or pointers as to how to structure the rules etc. Do you tend to use VM's or physical machines for the CTF, also i take it you set up the CTF with a goal or set of goals in mind. I dont want to get too bogged down by what gear we need, rather that we need to start having the meetings. I'm sure once we start meeting up a more structed approach and increase in gear will be forthcoming. By the way i loved the thread on defending a CTF a little while ago, had some awesome content. Is it me or does anyone else close their eyes and hold their breath when then click on a link from guys who work in the security field? : ) 2009/8/4 John Strand <strandjs at gmail.com> PDC will be running a CTF at the SANS 560 event in London: http://www.sans.org/london09/description.php?cid=9117 We will be running the CTF/Beer session on the fifth night. Any takers? john On Aug 4, 2009, at 3:56 AM, Mark Wityszyn wrote:Hi Robin. I'm down in Sheffield in the next month hopefully. Fancy a coffee? I can mail you nearer the time?

If you want to organize something round here then I'm up for it. RobinI'll post a mail next time I'm down in London and see if we can meet up too. I was wondering whether there's any CTF stuff we could set up remotely, need to give this some more thought and am a bit busy at the moment with SAN504/60.

Could not believe some one bought this up on this mailing list I was thinking of doing the same thing but don't knowanyoneelse who would want to get involved. I know of DC4420 which is London's chapter of Def Con which I really need to pull a finger out and go to. May be worth doing a PDC UK meetup?? Anyone interested? if so letmeknowand I don't mind trying to sort some of it out. I would say do it in London as most Security Professionals would bebasednear there. Sorry guys from Leeds. Could do a meet up every six monthsandalternate North and South.
