Looking to create a CTF crew - Fladrif - Nov 9, 2016
Hello everyone!
After taking part in a few online CTFs on my own, it has become apparent that it's impossible to compete against teams of 3 or more people due to the fact that they can work on multiple targets whilst I am having to concentrate on one.
So my solution: go to HF and a few other places and gather some like-minded people to form a casual CTF-ing team!
My thoughts on the team:
- Some kind of realtime central point of contact during a CTF - IRC perhaps, Im happy to host this
- A location for planning and discussion of upcoming events and write-ups (possibly use HF for some of this, or maybe just IRC and github)
- No obligation or pressure to take part in any particular CTF, but a willingness to get involved even just for a few hours if you are available
- Members are to have some verifiable skill in a given area, even if it is just beginner level - anyone can pitch in and help. Topics are likely to be the common CTF flag categories such as reverse engineering, exploitation, forensics, cryptography, web.
- Access to a selection of CTF VMs in order for people to practice their skills. Again I am happy to host this, but will only make this available to trusted users.
- Members can remain anonymous if they prefer - no requirement to give up your identity.
- An openness and willingness to learn, and a good attitude towards the rest of the team
I am not new to the pentesting game. If you think this is something you would be interested in then lets start a discussion. I think we probably need at most a ten person team to call on for a CTF, with a hope that 3 or 4 would be available to take part.
Get in touch!

What does CTF stand for? Is it an acronym or an abbreviation?

I was, always, thinking it would be, "certificate," because I meet it in situations where, "certificate," is convenient

Usually certification and certified are abbreviated to "cert".

Well observed.
Is that a problem? I specified that I came here for that very purpose...
And to you other guys, once I've got my post count up I will PM you, thanks for expressing an interest, this could be fun!

Not too many people on here that can actually hack, and I've never been a fan of CTF but best of luck with the group brother

Count me in. Still a beginner but not a certifiable newb either. I'll stay tuned in to this thread. š

I have some experience in linux day to day administration, some knowledge in hacking, so interested in this post.

I already do too many, otherwise I would join you guys :(

Yeah I have participated in quite a few now (I was in the hackthevote one which I think you said you were in too?), but working with a team is the next logical step for me. Thanks for the interest though, maybe in future if you would like to team up then please get in touch :)

Sounds good - I've created an IRC channel ready to start a discussion once everyone who wants to get involved has expressed an interest!
I'll PM those who have requested to get involved with the IRC details soon and lay down a plan of upcoming CTFs and how I can get in touch with people to organise their involvement or availability.
Then we can decide peoples roles in the CTF - for example, a decent reverse engineer could have the support of a less experienced person who could be trying more automated testing and doing research on Google etc.

I'll pitch in if needed. CTF are fun.
