This year’s Reply Cyber Security Challenge, to be held on
Friday October 15th at challenges.reply.com, has been
enriched with the Train&Win programme. The programme
aims to create awareness among the new generation on the topic of
cyber security. Starting on September 20th teachers and students
aged 16 and over, trained together on problem-solving activities in
Capture the Flag (CTF) mode.
The Train&Win programme, which welcomed 716 participants and
had 3,054 flags submitted, offered a playful approach for
experimenting and learning sensitive topics such as cyber security,
vulnerabilities and attack possibilities. Teachers and students
trained together on the platform for three weeks with different
riddles on five different categories: Coding, Web, Binary,
Miscellaneous and Crypto.
Each category requires the use of a different set of skills:
logic, programming and scripting skills for Coding or reverse
engineering for Binary, ability to find vulnerabilities in Web
applications or a mix of skills for Miscellaneous. In addition,
study materials were made available to help prepare for the
international competition on October 15th.
Each week, a winner is selected from all the students who have
scored points and submitted a valid flag. In the first week, the
Johann Kepler Gymnasium in Leonberg, Germany, came out on top. The
winner of the second week was a Belgian student from Henallux
University, who is using the Reply Cyber Security Challenge as an
exam in his course. In the third week, a student from the BMSZC
Bláthy Ottó Titusz School of Computer Science and Technology in
Budapest took the first place.
Martina Rosales from Johann Kepler Gymnasium: "We are happy
about the success of the Train&Win programme and welcome the
playful approach to introduce our students to urgent topics like
cyber security. The interest is great and shows the increased
demand in all age groups. We welcome the idea and look forward to
using the platform to solve more tasks."
The Reply Cyber Security Challenge will be held on Friday
October 15th at challenges.reply.com and aims to gather teams of 2
to 4 players to compete on a 24-hour marathon, ‘Capture the Flag
(CTF) challenge’. The competition will be focused on the
identification of vulnerabilities purposely hidden in software and
computer systems.
