RITSEC CTF 2026:

RITSEC CTF 2026 General Rules

1. Treat everyone with respect. Absolutely no harassment, witch hunting, sexism, racism, or hate speech of any kind will be tolerated.
2. No spam or self-promotion. Unless you have express permission from a member of the RITSEC CTF team, you may not promote servers or post advertisements.
3. No NSFW or obscene content. This includes text, images, or links featuring nudity, sex, hard violence, or other graphically disturbing content.
4. Do not attack the infrastructure. The RITSEC CTF infrastructure is not part of the challenges. The use of penetration tools such as Nmap and DirBuster on the CTF infrastructure is strictly prohibited.
5. Do not give out flags or hints. To keep this CTF as fair as possible, do not share any hints or answers with anyone outside of your team. You may discuss specific challenges in public channels only as long as you do not give away crucial information.
6. Do not ask anyone for flags or hints. This includes event participants/organizers as well as Q&A websites such as StackOverflow and Quora. You are, however, encouraged to create a ticket with any questions you may have.
7. No flag-hoarding. When you get a flag, submit it right away. It is important that you do not hoard flags to ensure that teams know exactly where they stand every step of the way.
8. If you see anything that breaks one or more of these rules (including public messages, DMs, etc.), reach out to an admin (@Staff on Discord) and let them know as soon as possible.
9. Failure to follow these rules may result in message deletion, bans, score freezes, point deductions, etc.
10. These rules are interpreted at the discretion of the RITSEC CTF team. As such, all decisions are final and unappealable.

Anyone participating must abide by our code of conduct, which can be found in Article 9 of the RITSEC Constitution.
