Team size

#01

There is no limit on team size.

No sharing

#02

You are strictly forbidden from sharing flags, solutions, or hints with other teams. Doing so will result in immediate disqualification.

Targets and infrastructure

#03

Do not attack the competition infrastructure, the scoring platform, or other players. Your targets are strictly limited to the assigned challenge instances.

Platform bugs

#04

If you discover a vulnerability or bug in the CTF platform itself, report it privately to the organizers rather than exploiting it.

Respect and availability

#05

Treat everyone with respect. Do not intentionally disrupt the competition or degrade the performance of challenge containers for other participants.

Flags and support

#06

All flags follow the format mntcrl{...} unless a specific challenge explicitly states otherwise. If the platform rejects a flag you are certain is correct, open a private support ticket instead of posting the text publicly.

AI and automation

#07

The use of AI tools is discouraged during the competition, and participants are strongly encouraged to rely on their own skills. You may use standard assistants to help write scripts or analyze data, but deploying fully automated bots to solve challenges, mass-scan endpoints, or scrape the platform is strictly prohibited.

Ask staff first

#08

If you are unsure whether a specific tool or action violates these rules, ask the staff in a ticket before proceeding.

Organizer decisions

#09

The organizers reserve the right to update these rules or adjust the standings at any point to keep the competition fair. All staff decisions are final.
