&lt;div&gt;==Capture the Flag Overview==&lt;br /&gt;
Test your skills with a capture the flag (CTF) hacking competition created specifically for SnowFROC by members of the Boulder OWASP chapter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Competitors will be provided a series of web applications containing a variety of vulnerabilities. Each discovered vulnerability will earn points. The harder the hack, the more points earned. At the end of the day, the team with the most points wins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!-- Basic plot intro, other background information? --&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Rules==&lt;br /&gt;
All conference attendees may participate in the CTF tournament for no additional cost. If you would prefer to attend the general conference proceedings, the competition will be made available to attendees after SnowFROC ends.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Format===&lt;br /&gt;
Contestants will be provided a virtual machine which will run locally on self-provided devices. This is a BYOD event and all contestants are responsible for providing their own machine. No &amp;quot;loaners&amp;quot; will be made available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All contestant machines should have:&lt;br /&gt;
* A virtual machine player that supports .vmdk files, such as [http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ VMware Player], [https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads VirtualBox], or [http://www.parallels.com/ Parallels].&lt;br /&gt;
* Appropriate penetration testing tool ([http://www.backtrack-linux.org BackTrack], [http://samurai.inguardians.com/ SamuraiWTF], [[OWASP_Mantra_OS|Mantra OS]], and [[ZAP|OWASP ZAP]] will fit in well).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Acceptable behavior===&lt;br /&gt;
Competitors are only permitted to attack targets running on their local systems. Network traffic will be monitored to ensure there will be:&lt;br /&gt;
* No attacking the [[SnowFROC2013_CTF_Scoreboard| scoreboard]]. Misuse will result in punitive action.&lt;br /&gt;
* No targeting the VM. Do not mount the VM and harvest flags from within.&lt;br /&gt;
* No attacking other teams, whether through coercion, DoS, theft, sabotage, or other malicious activity.&lt;br /&gt;
* No collusion. Work only within your own team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Prizes===&lt;br /&gt;
Small prizes will be awarded to winners. Anyone who worked on the project or who has access to project-related repositories is ineligible to win prizes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both team and individual prizes will be awarded based on merit and other achievements.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;
Team prizes will be awarded to:&lt;br /&gt;
* The team with the most points;&lt;br /&gt;
* The team who completed the story first (or, as a tiebreaker, the team with the most plot-specific points);&lt;br /&gt;
* The team who took the shortest amount of time to complete Acts I-IV;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Individual prizes will be awarded to:&lt;br /&gt;
* The person who solved the hardest challenge (worth the most points);&lt;br /&gt;
* The person who solved the most challenges (raw number);&lt;br /&gt;
* The person who scored the most points (total sum);&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
#Start by copying VM over to your machine. While that is going on, move on to the next steps.&lt;br /&gt;

#Within VirtualBox, go to file --&amp;gt; preferences --&amp;gt; network --&amp;gt; add host only network adapter.&lt;br /&gt;
#Edit this new adapter - put in 10.50.65.254 255.255.255.0&lt;br /&gt;
#In the VirtualBox main page- go to New, give the VM a name, set type to BSD, click next, set mem to at least 1 GB, Use Existing Virtual HD. Point it to the ctf.vmdk file you copied onto your machine. Create.&lt;br /&gt;
#Select VM in the VirtualBox main window, at top click settings. go to network, adapter 1, change to &amp;quot;Bridged Adapter&amp;quot;. Adpater 2, enable network adapter, make it a host only adapter and select the adapter you created earlier. Hit ok.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;====Welcome to SnowFROC 2013 - the 5th Annual Front Range OWASP Security Conference====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SnowFROC_Register.png|256px |link=http://www.cvent.com/d/dcqr8m |alt=Click here to register |Register]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Colorado OWASP chapters are proud to present the 5th annual SnowFROC. Join 300 other developers, business owners, and security professionals for a day-and-a-half of presentations, training, and Birds-of-a-Feather (BoaF) sessions. The SnowFROC 2013 keynote speaker is Neal Ziring, Technical Director of InfoProtection at NSA.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The conference will occur on Thursday, March 28th at the [[Front_Range_OWASP_Conference_2013#Venue | Denver Marriott City Center]] and will feature four primary tracks:&lt;br /&gt;
*High-Level Technical&lt;br /&gt;
*Deep-Dive / Hands-on Technical&lt;br /&gt;
*Management&lt;br /&gt;
*Legal&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Running in parallel to the conference proceedings will be a capture the flag (CTF) hacking competition developed exclusively for SnowFROC by Boulder OWASP chapter members. The day will conclude with a moderated panel discussion featuring top industry leaders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Friday, March 29, [[Jim_Manico|Jim Manico]] will teach a course in secure coding. '''This training is free to SnowFROC attendees!'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Friday will also offer BoaF sessions. Join like-minded industry leaders and discuss pressing issues facing the industry and you. BoaF sessions are self-lead and may address and issue you would like. Pitch your idea and get the ball rolling!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, Friday will feature a postmortem of the CTF tournament. In addition to discussing solutions, techniques, and tools, we will encourage participants to attack the previously out-of-bounds CTF framework. Itching to break into the scoreboard and rack up the points? The gloves come off Friday morning.&lt;br /&gt;
