The 2024 iCTF is an educational challenge-based Capture The Flag competition focused on AI and Cybersecurity. The 2024 iCTF is sponsored by the NSF AI ACTION Institute, and it is organized by the Women in Computer Science (WiCS) at UCSB together with Shellphish.
The 2024 iCTF has two tracks, one for high school students and one for undergraudate students, hosted on different servers. Each track has a set of challenges with a wide variety of difficulty.
Please see ictf.cs.ucsb.edu for rules and registration procedures. The infrastructure is hosted by CTFd.
Challenges are of two kinds:
- Self-contained: The challenge is composed of a bundle of data, which contains all the information necessary to extract the flag.
- Interactive: The challenge provides some data (e.g., some code or a description pf the challenge), but the actual exploitation of the challenge requires connecting to a host at a specific port. The service is hosted in a docker container.
Examples of this challenges are in the repo under challenges/samplelocal and challenges/sampleremote, respectively.
An example of a (remote) challenge that uses an LLM (Large Language Model) is in challenges/samplellm.
