🚩 Capture the Flag - First Summer School on Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity

This beginner-level Capture the Flag (CTF) offers an immersive experience in mirror-style and realistic simulation environments, where each participant will face dynamic challenges focused on network and web applications. Throughout the event, you'll put your skills to the test by discovering, analyzing, exploiting, and post-exploiting real-world vulnerabilities based on OWASP Top Ten scenarios.

No prior experience in offensive security is required; basic knowledge of tools like Nmap, Burp Suite, Metasploit Framework, and familiarity with Kali Linux (or an equivalent distribution) will suffice.

What will you do in this CTF?

You’ll search for flags—alphanumeric strings revealed upon identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities. Each flag awards points based on the difficulty of the challenge.

Where do you register?

At ssiac.hackmex.mx, where a user account and email will be created and linked to the echoCTF platform, designed specifically for this event.

What do you need to start playing?

An OpenVPN connection, downloadable from your echoCTF user profile. This connection grants you access to the challenge environment.

Recommended tools?

Kali Linux or any OS with offensive tools such as Nmap, Burp Suite, Metasploit, Gobuster, or others useful for identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities.

How do you win?

Each flag has a point value. The participant with the highest score at the end of the event wins.

Gameplay mode?

Individual, during the official days of the First Summer School on Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity.

Where are the rules?

In the Rules and Engagement section on ssiac.hackmex.mx, within the echoCTF platform.
