invited teams to pitch innovative ideas, design posters, and solve puzzles, blending
business and technology in a creative contest. IEEE Day 2024 was a resounding success,
fostering collaboration, innovation, and a passion for technology among all participants,
leaving everyone inspired and eager for future challenges.
EVENT DESCRIPTION: "Payload Pursuit" is a Capture The Flag (CTF) challenge
designed with 7 exciting levels. Each level presents questions and flags related to IEEE,
testing participants' technical knowledge, problem-solving skills, and teamwork.
Participants will race against time to capture as many flags as possible to win the
competition.
EVENT SUMMARY:
Introduction and Rules Briefing:
● The event began with a detailed explanation of the CTF format. Participants were
briefed on the competition structure, objectives, and how to tackle challenges
effectively.
● Instructions were provided on how to solve the challenges and capture flags,
covering essential cybersecurity tools and techniques. Teams were also informed
about the rules, scoring process, and timelines to ensure smooth execution
throughout the event.
Level 1-7 Challenges:
● The competition featured seven distinct levels, each increasing in difficulty to test
participants’ critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork.
● Levels involved various technologies and cybersecurity concepts, such as
cryptography, reverse engineering, web exploitation, and network forensics.
● Hints were released at strategic intervals to support participants, helping them
progress through particularly challenging levels while still preserving the integrity
of the competition.
Flag Submission and Scoring:
● Teams were required to submit flags after solving each challenge. These flags
served as proof of successful completion.
● A Google Form was used to collect flag submissions, which allowed the event
organizers to maintain a clear record of timestamps for each submission. This
system helped in tracking the real-time progress of the teams and ensured
accurate scoring.
