Tom Van Dornen, I'm one of the co-founders of the ICS Village, and I'm going to talk to you today
for a little bit about Hack the Planet CTF that went live about an hour and 15 minutes ago.
So far we have a little over 100 people playing it,
and I'm going to walk you through how to register, what's involved, things like that.
So if you haven't done so, go to hacktheplanet.ctfd.io.
Bringing to this screen here, go ahead and click here to register and play,
ask you for some basic information, fill it out.
Once you do that, you can come back and log back in.
And the CTF is really made up of three different challenges this year.
With the help of our sponsors and a lot of hard work from some volunteers,
we have a Howdy Neighbor provided by Grimm.
That's an IoT-based CTF.
We have CISA.
They have the Cellarskins.com out at INL.
We have some challenges that you're going to go against them.
But both of those environments, you're going to use a zero-tier network connection
to get into, and you actually go against live real hardware.
And then we have other questions that you can download PCAPs from or different artifacts.
A lot of them were provided by Dragos.
And you're going to download them locally, analyze the PCAPs,
analyze the different files to answer your questions.
Overall, we have about 190 questions that were provided.
And we put in the CTF.
We could not have done this without our sponsors.
Some of the hard work was done by Don Weber from Cutaway Security.
Dragos, CISA, Grimm, Scythe.
I'm probably missing somebody in there.
But a lot of people had a lot of really hard work to go in here.
So click on those two links there, whatever one that you want to.
And you're going to download or view, if you choose,
instructions on how to connect to a zero-tier network.
Instructions on how to play that section of the CTF.
In addition to that, we have live camera feeds.
You do not need to be a part of the CTF to view these.
In the documents that you're going to read, where there's links previously,
these links here will be in there.
So we go between Twitch and YouTube.
It's pretty cool to see when you answer some questions properly,
you'll see some physical effects happen to the different skids or howdy neighbor.
The CTF will run until 10 o'clock Eastern time tonight.
And then they'll also run tomorrow and for a few hours on Sunday.
Scoreboard will show who's in the lead.
That can be viewed by anybody without an account.
The winner this year, unfortunately, will not get a black badge.
We got word just, I believe it was yesterday or day before,
that winners will not get a black badge.
However, you will have a lot of fun.
It should take you all weekend to go through all of these challenges.
Unless you already played this.
We did debut a lot of this at RSAC a couple months ago.
So you will see some challenges that were brought in from there.
But it will take you probably all weekend to go through all of these challenges if you choose.
If you have questions, and I'm sure you will,
go to the contest and events, ICS Hack a Planet section on Discord.
And just pop your questions in there.
That should be open right now for everybody to do that.
Somebody will get back to you with an answer.
Either be in the general chat there where you posted it or a DM.
But we will get back to you as soon as possible.
Both the CESA skids and Howdy Neighbor zero tier connections all have a time limit to that.
We had to impose a time limit just so we can let more people through.
When your time is up, you automatically be disconnected.
It's an automated feature.
You can get right back in line and get back on it if there's not a wait.
Reconnect pretty quick.
If there are people in front of you, you're going to have to wait.
One of the challenges that we have with this is we are dealing with real targets out there,
real physical hardware.
So the concurrency issue, in order to satisfy that, we have to limit people's time on it.
So that's all I have.
Good luck, everyone.
If you have any questions, by all means, put them in the chat there.
And I look forward to seeing the scores and seeing how everybody does.
