HackTheBox Uni CTF 2021

Date: 2021-11-19 to 2021-11-21

Difficulty: Advanced

Delivered By: Jack Roberts and HackTheBox

Overview

As we did last year, SUCSS are getting a team together to enter the annual HackTheBox Uni CTF. There are only 10 spaces available, so we encourage the members to have some experience with CTFs and cyber security challenges.

This a Jeopardy-style Capture the Flag event, meaning teams race to complete as many challenges as possible over the course of the 3 days. These challenges are categorised into Web, Pwn, Hardware and other areas, meaning a team with a range of skillsets is important. Jack will be around over the weekend to provide technical support (or helping with challenges if there are any remaining spaces in the team).

Sign up has now closed, as the CTF has ended.

Result

Our team "SotonCyber" placed 23rd out of 594 participating teams! This is an amazing achievement with all of the participants working hard to solve 14 of the 29 challenges, getting a total of 4850 points.
