If I'm understanding correctly, you're proposing to setup a system, at it's 
hardened state, and upon arrival all attendees are made aware of the access 
particulars and details of said system, and then encouraged to assail it? If 
so, this sounds great... kind of like "CommunityCrowdSourcing", for fun.

 

I'll note, the one thing that makes the CTF at DEFCON enjoyable for most 
observers, is the graphical displays. It's noticeably gotten more and more 
video game-ish over the years and seems to draw in the non-technical; as they 
can now follow play easier.

 

How would you propose having something of this same nature?

So at CSAW a couple weeks ago there was a CTF, and like most conferences, it 
worked out well. I mean part of it is Vector35 doing their magic and a set of 
players who had both skills and focus. (Vector35 will be back with a bigger 
class at INFILTRATE this year!)  

 
 
Anyways, I both love and hate CTFs and security conferences. At DEFCON I find 
they're the only thing I really watch. But for most conferences I feel like the 
people who should MOST be watching the talks and "networking" are instead 
playing a CTF, which frankly they could do anywhere over the internet? I mean, 
the GRIMM CTF at INFILTRATE (which is ICS focused) has lights and action 
happening, which is cool.
 

 
 
Anyways, one thing that's different about INFILTRATE is most people do not 
bring laptops of any kind. So when we do the NOP test or when we have CTFs 
available, then we supply a burner laptop.  
 

 
 
My idea of the weekend was not to have a CTF, but to just have a THING which 
people banged on collectively. Patched up Solaris 8, maybe, or a metal 
detector. Something a bit less formal, perhaps. What do you think?
