For the second consecutive year we developed the HackMex CTF for the Instituto
Politécnico Nacional of Mexico. This year’s challenges included digital
forensics, reverse engineering, binary analysis, vulnerability identification, incident investigation and more.
The participants were divided into 2 categories, the Academics and the
.GOB & .ORG. Each of the categories had separate leaderboards and
activity streams.
The participants included university students from all around Mexico as
well as government, military and intelligence services.
An online CTF competition was developed for the Instituto Politécnico Nacional
of Mexico. The tournament was held by The National Polytechnic Institute (IPN).
The scope of HackMex 2019 was to measure the technological capacity of Mexico,
in an academic environment with international projection. The competition
attracted not only students from different universities, but also cyber
security professionals, making it the largest CTF competition in the country.
Due to high demand, the competition was completed in two stages, the
qualification round and finals. The event gained national media attention.
For the third year in a row, we delivered an echoCTF based competition
for the Cyber Sabers Hackathon. The competition took place during the
two days of the MENA ISC 2019 Security Conference held in Riyadh, KSA.
This year we included even more challenges and flags that represented
the latest security trends of 2019. We also added more defensive
challenges to test how the participants act in real life situations.
A demonstration platform, created for one of our clients for the needs of the IDEX 2019,
which perfectly demonstrates the diversity of our platform. This military themed platform
is comprised of echoCTF targets and a diorama specifically tailored to illustrate the effects
of security lapses on modern military facilities. A presenter attacks and takes control of
systems (echoCTF targets) of the military facility which control various infrastructure
elements of the diorama through real-life services. The attacks result in opening the automated
hangar doors, take control of a UAV, bypass authorization checks on gates and more.
For the second year in a row, Echothrust Solutions was tasked to
deliver an echoCTF based competition for the Cyber Sabers Hackathon. The competition took
place during the two days of the MENA ISC 2018 and included 36 teams and 153 participants.
This year, we included even more custom made models of signature buildings of Riyadh, Jeddah,
Kuwait and Dubai. Besides the usual offensive challenges, programming and defensive challenges
were also developed. The top scoring teams were awarded with prizes of 50,000 to 20,000 SAR and
every participant was awarded with a certificate of participation.
European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA EU Agency) "Hack the Airport"
concept includes airport infrastructure CTF scenarios which are visualized through a scaled
model of an airport. ENISA Hack the airport is utilized as part of the 5th pan European cyber
crisis exercise, Cyber Europe 2018 (CE2018). The scenarios include obtaining control of a jet
bridge, the radar, a moving walkway, the departures board and more.
