CTF Rules:

General:

By participating in the CTF you acknowledge you have read and agree to these rules
If you feel anyone has violated the rules please contact the organizers.
If you have any questions regarding any challenges please contact the organizers.
Any announcements/updates will be posted in the CTFd platform.
The format of all flags, unless otherwise noted, is isrmctf{...}
For example: isrmctf{Hey_this_is_not_tldr}
Do not share/post any of the code or challenges found in the CTF outside GM

Etiquette:

No hacking or attacking the CTFd site or participants including but not limited to using scanning, denial of service, and or brute forcing tools. Hacking/attacking the site or participants will result in disqualification.
Hacking allowed only on any challenges where hacking activity is part of the challenge (e.g. Website as a challenge with hidden flags, password hashes where brute force tools might be used).
Except for you teammates, do not share or post any flags. Don't spoil the fun for other teams.
Please refrain from discussing solutions to challenges with others. Hints will direct participants to approved sources for training/tools.

Scoring:

The scoring is designed to encourage more active participation and leans more towards education as opposed to competition.
EASY challenges will be WORTH MORE THAN more DIFFICULT challenges.
There will be NO DEDUCTIONS for hints.
Hints may include links to some form of training and or suggested tools which will help solve the challenge.
Scoring will be dynamic, as more teams solve a challenge the less the challenge is worth. Therefore, the value of a challenge will drop over time as more teams solve the challenges.
The dynamic scoring will be done on a linear scale using the following equation: Initial_point_value - (Decay * Solve_Count)
The dynamic scoring decay will stop once the minimal score level is met for the challenge.
The CTF dev team will determine the Max, Min, and Decay based on the difficulty of the challenge.
The team with the highest amount of points and does so more quickly will win.
If two or more teams tie the winner will be judged by a write up on a challenge of choice. Additionally, we will be planning a CTF Teams debrief/after party where we can commiserate, share, and learn.
