Global ctf challenge

Announcement from Honeynet:

Are you ready for the First Global CTF? The Irish Honeynet project @honeyn3t, in cooperation with OWASP have built a CTF designed to engage first time CTF players while also challenging the experienced. Places for the games are limited - and you must register to play. Early registration is currently open [ http://ctf.honeyn3t.ie ] with Official registration starting on the 23rd of August. Once the maximum levels of players the hardware will support has been reached, the registration will become a waiting area. Every week the Irish honeyn3t team will go through activity logs for users, and clear up spaces from individuals that have stopped playing the games and invite people from the queue to join.The best advice is register early to avoid disappointment.

The games will run in two streams. Depending on interest levels there may be a final stream where the top players will play by invitation only in a 1 day exclusive round. Stream 1 is a global challenge - this is where your faction matters. Choose your faction wisely. The faction whom owns most of the globe will receive the highest % multiplier for their score in Stream 2. These are simple - solve once - speed challenges. Follow us on twitter @honeyn3t to keep up to date on new level releases. The individual who scores the level correct in Stream 1 will get points as well as what ever his faction has earned at the end. Tweet your faction... keep them working!

Stream 2. This is the traditional style CTF that people are familiar with. If you have never played in a CTF, do not worry - we will start the games with some straight forward challenges as well as some hard. The games will get tougher as the weeks progress - we may stick in a few easy ones so you veterans over think them ;)

Stream 3. Top Secret :)

The most important thing for the honeyn3t is not to make a CTF that no one can complete, or engage with. It's for people to have fun and learn about security. Through the games we hope to show you tricks to using bash, understanding the concepts of reversing and some good old pen testing and some other stuff....

The Games will go down each Wednesday for scheduled maintenance. Should you have any questions - you can tweet us @honeyn3t and we will see what we can do for you. As it's a global event and we are a volunteer group I have no idea the volume of tweets we will receive. All I can say is we are a dedicated team and hope to keep as many people happy as humanly possible. We will operate on #globalCTF

Look forward to watching your logs :)
