Hack in the Box

The most famous security conference in the region has issued a press release about the
anticipated Capture the Flag competition.3-5 players per team, over two days, and only their own knowledge and skills to rely upon will be fighting to secure their servers from other team's attacks and to exploit security vulnerabilities in their opponents servers at the same time. Sounds like fun to any sys admin.

-The CTF creates an avenue for hackers to show their skills in an environment that is both legal, fun and at the same time allows information security practitioners the opportunity to showcase their security research capabilities and skills, said Meling Mudin, lead organizer of the Capture The Flag competition and a core member of the HITB team.
