Master new cyber security skills at our two-day SCaLE 17x Capture The Flag competition. Whether you're a beginner who's never tried a CTF before, an experienced competitor looking for an energizing challenge, or a professional who just wants to have fun, this event is for you. This year we have a new delivery platform and all-new content. We are welcoming back Cal Poly Pomona's Swift student club and Attivo Networks as our platform hosts.
Registration
The tournament is free to registered SCaLE 17x attendees (link at the bottom) but requires separate registration to compete. Please bring your own device to participate if possible, since that will allow us to accommodate the most competitors
Hardware Requirements
This year we will require the ability to hard wire into a switch, so please be sure to bring a compatible device or any adaptors you need to connect to an RJ-45. Loaner laptops are not available at this time, but may become available closer to the event- watch this page for updates.
Prizes
Prizes will be given to the top three in each CTF round. Many thanks to these organizations for their generous prize donations: System76, ISSA Ventura County, Yubico, Signal Sciences, and ShellCon.
