This week’s CTF is sCTF. No writeups yet as it’s still going – but it’s turning out to be a lot of fun (especially the relatively heavy focus on crypto/stego, which is something I know basically nothing about).

On a side note, we arranged an in-person get-together for this CTF (via our Meetup.com group – at a grand total of three days notice!), which turned out to be a most glorious evening of beer and computers:

the most australian thing i’ve ever done

Through the cloying haze of bong smoke that is the broader Australian information security industry, it was fantastic to see so many people willing to take the time to put their money where their mouth is, pick up a laptop and have fun with practical information security events, even if (especially if) we’re all scrubs.

high as a kite and ready to drop some best practice

We’ll no doubt be arranging more of these get-togethers in future – stay tuned 🙂
