It's a glider, but you can't see it.

This year was very rich in vulnerabilities, beautiful hacks and non-standard attack methods. In the same year, the Ministry of Defense decided to create special security forces to protect critical objects. At the next C ^ 2 conference, experts will talk about this and share practical practical experiences.

Here is a report from the last conference, perhaps interesting to you by Mitnick's performance.

After the conference, the CTF IB tournament begins, not the first in Russia from the Cyber ​​Challenge line.

Tournament

One of the employees of a large company forgot a laptop in a taxi. At least they told you so. With it, you need to access information systems of a large corporation. You will have only four hours to crack the protection.

The principle is as usual on C ^ 2. A virtual network simulator of a large company, flags and a learning system (tips, removing points) that help those who get confused. With you - a laptop with Kali or a set of utilities to taste, we give the network and VPN to the simulator.

Inside - a system of flags. Each flag represents one of the tasks of network defense-attack, and is used to train information security specialists around the world. A set of flags emulates real-world vulnerabilities and user behavior on the network, as well as, sometimes, administrative response. For CTF players, this is traditionally a good and very useful game (below the link to reviews), and for the rest - a tutor. The fact is that the flags have 3 clues - from a hint to, in fact, direct instructions on what to do. And it helps to learn - not from the beginning, but from the level of an ordinary sysadmin in a small business for sure. Of course, a flag with a hint brings in far fewer points than a “clean” one.

Separate quest - getting access. We know about the history of how one of the participants of the tournament became a guest of Mitnick, taking badges from journalists, and we know how one of the participants tried to break the infrastructure in order to fix his score in the results table. The latter, alas, is forbidden by the rules, but we treat the first case with understanding if you act with ethical methods.

The main prize is a trip to London for the Vision conference and the iMAC monoblock. The second and third places - MacBook Air.

Flag distribution in a corporate network simulator
