I hope you’ll follow along with my solutions, and please comment with other ways to solve if you have them. Once again, I want to extend my thanks to the Huntress team for a great event. You can follow along through the week, or come back on the weekend to read them all. The organizers requested that no solutions be posted until 24 hours after the conclusion of the CTF.īased on the amount of content, I’ll be breaking the write-ups down by week number (1-4) and challenge category. Over the next few days I’ll be releasing the write-ups on how I solved each of the completed challenges. By the end of the event the tools used included: Depending on the challenge I switched between operating systems including MacOS, REMnux (Linux), and a customized Windows VM with a plethora of malware analysis utilities. I added a number of new tools to my toolkit throughout the CTF, and got more experienced with some old friends as well. I’m looking forward to seeing others’ write-ups on those challenges where I didn’t make it all the way through, and following along with my own data. This is an area that I’ve been developing my skills in more recently. The Malware scenarios were appropriately challenging for someone newer to this area. I think this is fair considering my skill levels. The only categories I didn’t have 100% in were Miscellaneous and Malware. There’s still another 20 or so hours to go, so we’ll see if that improves any further. ![]() I was very pleased with myself at having solved nearly 80% of the challenges. Today the final challenge of the event, graced us with another lovely malware sample to analyze. The challenges covered a wide area of subjects with the majority being DFIR related. Overall, I found the event to be a great learning experience that challenged me, increased my confidence, and gave me an avenue to pursue skills I want to develop further. There were only minor technical difficulties noticed throughout the month, and on more than one occasion those were due to people not observing the rules and using brute force tools where they weren’t needed (or allowed.) ![]() Throughout October, as part of Cyber Security Awareness Month, the team over at Huntress put on a ~30 day Capture the Flag event with 58 unique challenges.įirst and foremost, kudos to the organizers for pulling off an event of this size and duration.
