I participated together with some friends in this years edition of the
smpCTF quals (actually it took place for the first time). Since we also qualified for the finals we had to submit a writeup of all challenges. For those who are interested, our submission is located on:
http://nion.modprobe.de/smpctf/smpctf.html.
All in all I had fun during this weekend but I also have to say that I've had more at other
CTFs in the past. What disappointed me especially is that I'm aware of at least 2 challenges that seem to be only slight alterations of challenges from the DEFCON and Codegate quals. I also missed creativity when it comes to the binary exploitation challenges, most of them have not been challenging. But as said, I enjoyed this weekend, had lots of fun and a big plus was the radio stream during the competition with support from
dubstep.fm
Anyway, congrats to
team nibbles who've won the CTF
