Everyone still has the itus from the food and festivities yesterday, so things are moving a little bit slow in the lab today. There was only one pen-tester-in-training in there when I just checked, but it was obvious that others had been through, judging from the food wrappers in the garbage. This is how hackers in the deep south roll on Sundays: It’s a day of rest, but you still have to scratch that itch to hack.
The lone participant was a member of Team Sniffer, and assured me that they have every expectation and plan to catch up with Team Firewall. There’s a lot of prime late-night hacking time between now and the end of CTF on Tuesday morning, so I don’t think it’s a bluff on Sniffer’s part.
The scores, as of 2:00PM on Sunday:
- Team Firewall – 27
- Team Sniffer – 11
- Team Wireshark – 3
- Team Burp Suite – 1
- Team Nmap – 0
- Team Tracker – 0
For a moment, I thought I needed to get Fyodor to give Team Nmap a call to get them into action (would they know who he is?
), but I did notice that Team Nmap has reserved a computer for running processes persistently. Maybe they’re sitting on their flags for the moment.

Fyodor is Gordon Lyon, the creator of Nmap. That means team Nmap gets a point right?
Why would we give you a point for that, everyone knows Fyodor
