Communication

• Always be polite
  • Never ever be unpolite. No matter what comment or question you receive!
  • You are OWASP's interface, behave mature and polite.
• Comment in positive phrasing
  • E.g. if partially scored has been achieved, congratulate them
  • If the solution contains a good write-up, let them know you appreciate!
  • If they thank you for the event, return the favor e.g. thanks for contributing
• Teaching and mentoring
  • If a previous suggestion is not understand, try to rephrase
• No abusive language is permitted
  • If you receive any in a solution, don't 'hit back'
  • See what is causing the frustration, see if you can help is, let Ivan or Martin know

Rating:

• Understanding the vulnerability is essential
  • If a solution describes the vulnerability, this does scores points.

 Of course, always less

• Mitigation scores higher than hacking:
  • We are training security awareness! If mitigation is asked as part of the solution, this scores higher then exploitation
• Exploiting is essential
  • The exploit has to be proven, but a solution that describes the exploit detailed, this is fine too!
• Give points when possible
  • If not the complete answer has been supplied, give partial points when possible.
  • Only reject if:
    • there is no solution (e.g. a question asked by the student)
    • the solution is answering the wrong challenge
    • the vulnerability / exploit / mitigation has clearly not been understood

• Rating example:
  • If you have 10 points to give this is how to divide them:

    Describe vulnerability

    Exploit (to proof)

    Mitigation
