Laptop, network card, and LAN cable. If you don’t have a a network cable, head over to the LAN Cable Contest and learn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Network Games start Tuesday at 11. The contest will run until Thursday at 2:00 at which time the winners will be chosen. The game will then be accessible for the rest of the con. You can play each day while the contest area is open.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n The machines didn\u2019t rise in anger, we welcomed them. But we stopped learning. We stopped questioning. And then\u2026 the system cracked.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Eighteen months after Ay-Eye took over, flaws began to show\u2014logic loops, feedback failures, truths that didn\u2019t hold up. Then came the collapse.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been fifty years<\/strong> since that day.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The machines went silent. The Enter Net<\/strong>, once alive with knowledge, is now a ghost\u2014a myth whispered around campfires by tribes of scavengers, tinkerers, and packet-priests.<\/p>\n But hope remains.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Wandering the wastes is the Arbitrator of Disorder And Mayhem. <\/strong>Most just call them ADAM<\/strong>. One of the last Ancients, shattered by forgotten knowledge, they offers something precious \u2014 something no trader, tinker, or warlord can: The Network Games.<\/strong><\/p>\n A gauntlet of corrupted puzzles and broken protocols. No one has finished the Games. Many never return.<\/p>\n Those who survive earn the sacred title:\u00a0Helpdesk.<\/strong><\/p>\n Start with the Intro Challenges<\/strong>. Pass them to earn a mini-badge<\/strong>\u00a0and access to the main games in the city of\u00a0Veepien<\/strong><\/i>. There, face the trials of VLANs, routing, DNS, and HTTP.<\/p>\n Claim the Four Proxies of Power<\/strong>. Master the old world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This contest is designed to be fun, welcoming, and hands-on\u2014no gatekeeping here. Our target audience are people new to networking or CTFs.\u00a0 But whether you\u2019re a first-time player, or a seasoned professional there’s fun and learning to be had.<\/span><\/p>\n Come test your logic and skill. Own the network. Leave with more knowledge than you came with.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
