How to get the most out of this CTF

  • Have fun & experiment. Try multiple approaches, compare notes, and share tips.
  • Recommended tool: CyberChef (encoding, decoding, crypto, parsing, and more).
  • Account hinting: Most challenges (except the Bonus categories) can be solved using clues tied to your assigned BlueTeam Account name.
  • MFA required: You’ll need to enroll MFA for your BlueTeam account before beginning. If you hit snags, reach out ASAP.
  • Bonus categories: These are solvable with online tools (e.g., CyberChef). For reverse-engineering challenges, you may need specialized tools—bring your favorites.
  • Stuck? Ask questions early and often. Collaboration is encouraged.
