VPN , VMs and Cloud Hosting 16.11.2023 00:28

Dear saarCTF participants,

with less than 3 days to go, we release VPN configurations and VM images on our website. Teams can now setup router VM and testbox VM. Please contact us per mail or IRC if things break.

Check vpn.ctf.saarland to see if your setup is functional.

If you want us to host the box for you, you do not need to prepare any VM - just distribute the cloud VPN configuration with your mates.

saarCTF 2023 announced! 07.07.2023 13:07

Our fourth iteration, saarCTF 2023 will take place on Saturday, 18.11.2023, 13:00 UTC and last for 8 hours, plus one hour preparation time where network is closed. The competition is open to everybody.

We invite you to a classical attack-defense competition. This year, we offer you to host your vulnbox VM in the cloud for you, making things much easier to set up! Of course we will still provide Virtualbox images as a usual alternative.

The registration is available soon, and will stay open until a few hours before the competition starts.
