I mistakenly posted write-ups for some of the problems I worked on on my personal blog instead of here – see Haymarket, Riverside and Heath Street.

If you have a write-up you want to post and you’re a member of our team, let me know and I’ll add you as an author so you can post it!  Or post it elsewhere and I’ll post a link here…

Welcome to the OSU Capture the Flag group web site.  We figured that we can use this in a variety of ways.  Stay tuned!

For those who are wondering, the sort of “capture the flag” that we’re talking about relates to IT security, rather than the sorts of games you play outdoors with two or more teams and flags.  These sorts of online CTF contests are great ways to learn and sharpen skills relating to computer and network security.

We have a mailing list at osu-ctf@lists.osu.edu – see the OSU-CTF mailing list web site to subscribe.

At our most recent meeting we decided to continue using OSU-CTF for the mailing list and for this web site, and to use variations of 0xbb0000 0x666666 for CTF contests (or #bb0000 #666666 – its the 6 digit hex code for scarlet and grey :-).  I’ve created a variety of shortcuts at go.osu.edu (osu-ctf, osuctf and so on).
