Get in. Get it. Get out.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Vault is a physical security challenge where teams race against the clock to defeat a variety of defenses, open the vault, and retrieve [REDACTED], earning points for each obstacle\u2014though can you really win if you never learn what\u2019s inside?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Find us next to the AppSec Community. \u00a0You can’t miss the carnival themed games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n You\u2019ll play the games right at our booth, using a provided laptop. <\/span><\/p>\n Each game may look simple on the surface, but hidden within each game is a subtle vulnerability. Exploit it to win big. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Just yourself! The booth setup includes everything you need to play. For more points you’ll want to submit a fix, and you\u2019ll need a device to code that up.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n The AppSec Carnival runs from Tuesday afternoon to Friday morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n The Vault is a physical security contest where teams race against the clock to defeat a series of layered defenses and ultimately breach the vault itself.<\/p>\n Each defeated control earns points. The better your team performs, the higher your score. Teams can complete multiple practice runs during open hours to hone their strategy and get familiar with the environment. However, each team gets only one official qualifying run\u2014make it count. Top-scoring teams will advance to the finals, where the challenge remains the same but the pressure is significantly higher.<\/p>\n This contest is designed to simulate the urgency, coordination, and decision-making required in a real-world heist. The vault won\u2019t give up its secrets easily\u2014can your team outsmart the system and walk away victorious?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n You\u2019ll need a ticket to play. These may be handed out during the con or earned by engaging with various other SAINTCON communities.<\/p>\n Redeem your ticket at the booth to take a crack at a game.<\/p>\n You can return and play again if you earn more tickets\u2014each game is standalone and has its own challenge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This contest is designed to be fun, welcoming, and hands-on\u2014no gatekeeping here. Whether you\u2019re a first-time player or a seasoned security pro, there\u2019s a game (and probably a janky plush prize) with your name on it.<\/span><\/p>\n Come try your luck. Cheat the system. And leave it better than you found it.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\nIt doesn’t matter what it is. It matters that it’s valuable. And it’s heavily protected.<\/span><\/h2>\n
