Well it was a very long and exciting weekend. There was little sleep and a lot of banging of heads on keyboards. The HackThisSite team finished 181st out of 765 teams.
BostonKeyParty was by no means an easy CTF. There was a strict no hint policy in place and the challenges were all home-brew designed to prevent automated tools for 'cheese' completions. It truly lived up to the reputation and was justly deserving of being a DEFCON pre-qualifier.
Throughout the competition we had several members come in to help and to show support for the team. A special shout out goes to:
Keep your eyes open for the next CTF announcement! We will be competing in several events throughout the year of varying difficulty. If you have never participated in a CTF before and are interested, take the time now to look over old write-ups and hone your skills. The next event will be announced soon!
Join us in #ctf for questions or interest in participating!
