How Strong is Your Fu – Registration and Rules

HOW STRONG IS YOUR FU ?

Registration to “How strong is your Fu” hacking tournament is open! Yes, we all know you can’t wait to get your dirty mits on our servers, and as each day passes we come up with nastier ideas for the hacking tournament itself -it’s almost like condoned sadism. The actual event takes place on the 8-9th of May. Each registered user will receive a VPN account into the challenge arena. This will ensure that all malicious traffic is limited to encrypted VPN traffic, and wont get you fired. This is what you were waiting for:

How Strong is Your Fu – Hacking Tournament Rules and Guidelines:

  • We reserve the right to disapprove ANY registration. This is not a democracy.
  • Only Registered and approved individuals may participate. Depending on the load of registrations, THERE MAY BE A CUTT-OFF for participants. Sorry – we can only support the addictions of a limited amount of hackers.
  • Strictly stick to the IP’s we will issue for the challenge! We do not assume responsibility for typos, such as “I meant to type in W.X.Y.Z, but ended up with nsa.gov”. In fact, we don’t assume responsibility for ANY damage done outside of the challenge labs.
  • No vulnerability scanners, or automated tools – in fact they will get you auto-banned. Not only will they get auto-banned, they will probably just waste your time, give you false positives, etc.
  • No denial of service, or other malicious actions. “Other malicious actions” include things like “rm -rf /” on a compromised server, etc.
  • A “successful compromise” includes getting an actual shell on the compromised machine – root or administrative privileges preferred. A PROOF file and ORGANIZED documentation are both required for us to accept your solutions to the challenge. GOOD documentation WILL HAVE PREFERENCE (ideally, a pentest report). Depending on your documentation, we may publish your report.
  • The winner will be the first participant to compromise *all* servers presented to them, “sudden death” style. The prize will include a single Offensive Security Online course of the winners choice. Again, good documentation will have preference.
  • The winner will *still* have to go through the Offensive Security Screening. This may include a scanned ID of some sort (with blurred out ID numbers, barcodes, etc).
  • Any attacks on the submission system , VPN server, etc, will result in disqualification.
  • You must try harder, no whining. We may add / remove / ammend these rules at any time, at our will. Tough luck.
  • ANY ACTIONS OUTSIDE OF THESE RULES WILL RESULT IN DISQUALIFICATION.

Following these guidelines will ensure both you and other participant have a good time. Please remember these rules.

Registration is CLOSED, SORRY.
