CYBAR is a not-for-profit event in Melbourne, Australia for students who have an interest in Cyber Security or Technology to meet others with similar interests, compete in CTF's for cool prizes, share ideas through fireball talks, eat plenty of pizza and dance the night away! All profits from the event will go to a charity voted on by the attendees.
Unfortunately due to COVID-19 we were forced to postpone the event. However, since we had a CTF ready to go, we decided to run this one online, and open it up to the entire world for free!
The CYBAR OSINT CTF was run for 24 hours starting 6/6/2020 at 18:00 AEST.
Huge thanks to our sponsor Privasec for sponsoring the event, and allowing us to award the top 5 teams with a AUD1500 total prize pool!
- 1st place ($800): Knowing and the Known
- 2nd place ($400): V01DSQUAD
- 3rd place ($200): cs
- 4th place ($50): Noroff University College
- 5th place ($50): CTF_ru
The CTF was designed to be solved with logic and critical thinking with no specialised tooling was required. For example, most solves were possible with just a browser. The difficulty ranged between EASY - MEDIUM - HARD - VERY DIFFICULT.
Total points available for this CTF was: 4950 Additional points were available for fulfilling achievements.
