About
Welcome to the Capture the Flag Team page of the HdM
Here you can find out everything worth knowing about our team, the contact person and which qualifications you need to join us.
Together we hack systems in our own training lab environment as well as on training platforms like TryHackMe, Hack the Box, VirtualHackingLabs, VulnHub etc.
Our goal is to understand the causes for security issues, how to exploit and how to avoid them.
First to Qualifications:
- none
- ok, you should have general IT and programming skills. :-)
- Otherwise, simply fun to acquire new knowledge or to extend existing competences is enough to join us. So it does not matter if you are a beginner or an expert. Of course you also have to have fun hacking with others and eating one or two slices of pizza 🍕
Come to the dark side we have flags!
Our CTF team at HdM has been founded in October 2020.
Currently, our team is working on TryHackMe and Hack the Box.
We have created a HdM mini Page on Hack the Box.
Here we try to get the HdM a good rank in the University Ranking of Hack The Box.
Our team consists of beginners, advanced students and experts in hacking.
Current and former team members, who have given consent to be published here, are:
The skills to participate in CTF events can be learned by visiting the lecture IT Security: Attack and Defense which takes place in room 133 every wednesday from 11:45 to 13:15 and 14:15 to 15:45 in the winter semester 2022/2023. Seats are limited to 20 students. If you have already visited the lecture and like to continue your hacker journey then join the CTF team. You may also join the CTF team without visiting the lecture.
The student CTF team meets by video conference and in rooms 141 and 142 every friday during the semester starting at 4 PM. Access to the video conference and the CTF material is provided via the corresponding ILIAS course.
