When it comes to infosec industry we all know that practice is the best
way to learn how to defend and protect your system and more important
how to find vulnerabilities and flaws within the systems you are after.
This is a never ending training and the way you can do it most intensely
and extensively is on CTF competitions.
Today's CTF are becoming more and more complex and engaged. You
can find from level based CTF's where you have to pass a level in order
to get access to the next, up to more sophisticated systems that mimic
different scenarios like internet bank phishing, to complex money
laundering scenarios up to attack and defend games where each team get a
server full of vulnerabilities or flaws and teams have to patch it
while other members exploits the other teams servers.
Any good thing comes with bad things too. Beside their value as an
alternative to infosec training labs, there are also some cons. CTFs are
held yearly, spread it all over the world, held for short period of
time, far from the real world internet (e.g. no DoS or DDoS attacks
allowed). Most of them fall into oblivion, even though they are fun.
CTF365 is World of Warcraft for Hackers except that instead of fighting in a fantasy world, with imaginary powers against imaginary characters, CTF365 will replicate the real world as much as possible, and you will have to fight with your own real tools... hacking tools.
BackTrack, Metasploit, Nmap, BackBox Linux or whatever you choose to use as weapons. You will have your own Fortress (your own server) to defend, with your own network, routers, and switches. You will build your own team and we will provide you with RTTK – Red Team Tool Kit for team communication and many more features. There will be as few rules as possible trying to get to the perfect cyber wargame: No rules at all.
CTF365 will provide the infrastructure VPS included.
This is CTF365 team's goal. To create an internet within the real
internet, a place where everybody can hack others machines while protect
their own and become better and better in their day-to-day trainings.
CTF365 will test the teams for both defensive and offensive skills and
its goal is to make players to become better at what they love to do
most; offensive and/or defensive security. Having a place full of
different kind of systems give players the opportunity to feel like in
real life when you don't know what it'll be around the coroner.
As a system administrator you and your team can experiment new
configurations without the fear that something wrong can happen or you
can simply train your skills to protect your system. CTF365 is the
ultimate testing field for servers administrators and pentesters.
