Pre-Registration Event
"There is a Pre-Registration event at Embassy Bar & Kitchen, in the city from 4pm on Friday. So come along, say hi, and pickup your badge early - that should help move the crowd through on Saturday morning! (Please be aware there is limited space at the venue, so if you can't get in, apologies)"

CTF

Back once again like a CTFmaster!

CrikeyCon CTF is a beginner CTF, with heaps of challenges for players of all skill levels. If you've never played a CTF before, or are just getting started in infosec, this is the CTF for you. But ontop of all the beginner challenges, we always have challenges for those 1337 hackers too. (Hi Menz!)

Categories Include

  • • Hacker 101
  • • Web
  • • Misc
  • • Pwn
  • • Trivia
  • • Crypto
  • • Fun
  • • The Nutbush Dance
  • • Plus More (probably)

Prizes

As always we have prizes to be given out randomly to all players throughout the day, courtesy of:
- DotSec Security
- PentesterLab
And our usual "crap" trophies for the 1337est of 1337 1337lters.
So bring along your laptop, or borrow 1 of our loaner laptops, and get submitting those flags.
Still not convinced, check out some reviews of previous CrikeyCon CTFs

Car hackinG

Car Hacking
Cars. Drones/UAVs. Submarines. Planes. Sharks with lasers. The interest levels in hacking things that move is rising. Autohackers has been formed to meet this challenge. This year at CrikeyCon we're starting with some basics - understanding the automotive CAN bus, with a capture from a vehicle and an instrument cluster from the same, to `replay` the drive. See and learn the CAN interactions using can-utils on a RPi+PICAN3 and see if you can make the instrument cluster dance to your tune. Brought to you by AutoHackers.org
