DEF CON Quals 2024

KuK Hofhackerei collaboration for DEF CON CTF Qualifiers 2024

Last weekend we grouped up with our esteemed friends from other Austrian CTF teams and participated in this year's DEF CON CTF Qualifiers under the KuK Hofhackerei mantle. The event was again hosted by nautilus.institute. Thanks for many fun challenges. In the end we were able to reach the 21st place.

This year we tried a hybrid approach, with teams meeting up in Graz, Linz and Vienna and collaborating through Discord, which worked surprisingly well.

In Vienna we met up again at SBA Research. Some people even had the motivation and stayed there for the whole event, which took 48 hours from Saturday 02:00 to Monday 02:00 CEST. Hat's off to that.

Last Friday we participated in the ictf2014 and reached the 3rd place out of more than 80 participating universities. This years theme was "hacking at scale" with 42 services to pwn, most of which had been reused from previous iCTF's.
