Weekend of Undead

Capture the Flag Qualifiers have just completed, and what a weekend.
Basically, a bunch of haxx0rs-turned-zombies by no sleep and too much coffee.
As usual, Kenshoto put on an outstanding game-show. Modelled after the modern gameshow giant "Jeopardy", there were five categories each with five challenges, ranging in difficulty from "my secretary could answer that" to "HOLY CRAP MAKE IT STOP! IT HURTS!" (rev500 anyone?)
1@stplace was not required to compete since we won last year's CTF event. So we showed up under a different name. All that free experience and fun going to waste! I think not! Some argue that last year's quals were more fun that CTF itself! Besides, quals are a great way to really mold a team together. And by 5pm on Sunday, patience and teamwork are vital. "Hey! WOULD SOMEBODY STOP KILLING MY GDB SESSION!" oh wait, that was me. Perhaps I needed a little more patience (sorry guys). My team did excellent work and the competing teams in the quals showed some serious talent! The game even drew in some hackers so "leet" that they don't want to be known (notice two teams "stepped down"? ok, maybe one team stepped down because of their name...). This year's CTF is guaranteed to be a real struggle.

Final scores can be viewed at the kenshoto web site (minus ours, of course).
1@stplace is considering putting together a walk-through like we did last year

See you at defcon!
