Apple patent lawyers fail to close ddtek, Defcon CTF goes on

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

1 APRIL 2010

DEFCON CTF QUALIFIER ANNOUNCED

Defense Diutinus Technologies Corp (ddtek) is pleased to announce the round of qualification for DEFON 18 CTF.

Stock up on Red Bull, put the pizza delivery on speed dial, polish up your fancy shellcodes, and replenish the duct tape supply. The competition for these coveted spots will be held over 55 non-stop hours 21-24 May. When the dust clears only the 10 best will be invited to join us this summer in sin city for the annual DEFCON deathmatch.

In historical fashion VedaGodz will be automatically be permitted contest entry. However, we wish to point out that real ninjas would still attempt to qualify.

The qualification round will again be in the style of game board, but answers need not be in the form of a question. Categories will require teams to demonstrate the superiority of hacking across a vast realm of security. This isn't CTF like your mama used to make. Level 1 questions make CISSPs turn red, Level 2 make SANS Fellows cry in frustration, Level 3 are typically only answerable by sheep of above average barnyard intelligence, you get the idea.

Pause your atari emulator and hop over the ddtek.biz to register. Only those that pre-register are permitted to play.

*CEH holders...well, we sorta feel a little bit sorry for those that admit to holding this cert and abstain from mocking.
