Announcing the 2020 December Metasploit community CTF

It’s time for another Metasploit community CTF! We're back on our usual end-of-year schedule this time around, and we’re doing a few things differently. Past CTFs have featured a wide range of challenges across different architectures, difficulty levels, and targets. This year, we wanted to make the CTF beginner-friendly—so we developed a more focused game  with a single Linux target, prizes for more teams, and a variety of easy and medium challenges that aim to help infosec newcomers build practical skills. As always, teams are encouraged, and once again we’ll have no cap on the number of players who can join a team. Read on for full competition details, and join the #metasploit-ctf channel on Slack to start building your team.


TL;DR overview


There are 1,000 team spots available; both individuals and teams of multiple members are allowed. There is no limit on the number of players who can be on a team. Please note: Those playing as a team only need to register ONE team upon signup. Help us make the competition accessible to as many players as possible by organizing with your fellow team players ahead of time and creating only a single team for all of you. If others want to join your team later, that’s no problem. See the FAQ at the end of this post for details.
