IERAE CTF 2024

IERAE CTF is the CTF organized by ierae, the CTF team of GMO Cybersecurity by Ierae, Inc.
GMO Cybersecurity by Ierae, Inc. is a Japanese security company with many CTF players. We have been helped by and grown with those CTF players, and now we want to help energize the community.

• This is a team competition.
• There is no limit to the number of people in one team. Of course you can participate alone though.
• The flag format is IERAE{something}, unless otherwise specified.
• Players need to submit a flag to the score server in order to get points.
• A team that gets more score, ranks higher. If some teams get the same score, a team that made the last submission of a valid flag earlier, ranks higher among them.
• If there arise situations which are not covered by these rules, the organizers may make decisions on them as needed. The decisions made are absolute.

We will provide seven challenges in the "Homework" category, just for fun.

These challenges are already public as they were provided in the IERAE DAYS 2023 event last year.

Each challenge is only 1pt, so it will not affect to the contest result too much.

Check out the details at https://github.com/gmo-ierae/ierae-days-ctf-2023 !

If you take the following actions, you will be disqualified.

1. To attack or disturb other teams
2. To attack servers unrelated to problems
3. To share flags or hints with other teams
4. To try brute-force attacks to problem servers
