📋Rules
Here is a list of basic rules:
  • This competition is open to individuals only, no teams
  • Each participant must register with a valid information (we need to be able to identify you for the final selection)
  • Do not attack the competition infrastructure (if you find a vulnerability in the infrastructure, contact an admin)
  • No collaboration is permitted. Do not share flags, tips, or solutions. You can do that after the end of the competition
  • Use common sense... if you think something is not permitted... it's probably not permitted
Acting outside of the competition rules or in a grey area may result in a ban. Play fair.
ℹ️General Info
After the competition ends, individuals who actively participated will be able to claim a certificate of participation.
If you face any problem, don't hesitate to contact the admins through the Discord server or through email.
Flag format: ECSC{eX4mple-Fl4g}
Dynamic challenge scoring formula: (((50 - 500) / (25^2)) * (Solves^2)) + 500 (in effect for most of the challenges)
The platform may be down for a few minutes every Monday night for maintainance.
🗂️Candidate Selection
Here is some information on the selection of candidates who will progress to the next phase.
The top 5 junior and top 5 senior candidates on the scoreboard will advance to the next phase. Besides these top 10 candidates, a further 10 will be selected based on i) overall performance in a specific category, and ii) team gender balance.
The above information should not impact your performance. Utilise your resources wisely and enjoy yourself.
🚀Next Phase
Durring the next phase, selected candidates will have to participate in team training activities. Here is a draft list of CTFs that we plan to participate for training:

  • SekaiCTF (16-18 Aug, 2 Days, Jeopardy)
  • FaustCTF (27 Sep, 9 Hours, Attack-Defense)
  • GlacierCTF (22-23 Nov, 1 Day, Jeopardy)
The candidates participation and performance on these events will impact the selection of the final 10 player team that will participate on the ECSC competition. More info will be shared about the next phase after the Quals.
