Recommendations
- Sign up as a small team. It is always more fun to work in teams, so consider signing up with friends or classmates in teams of 2-3.
- Bring your own computer if possible, any operating system will work. (We will have a few computers available for those who may not have one.)
- Access to Wireshark, Python, Burp Suite, and basic command-line tools are helpful but not hard requirements.
Thank you to C2Society for running this CTF.
