To Join the CTF: Find Charles (KidzMash Staff) and ask for a Tag.

CTF stands for Capture the Flag. In information security it is a competition in which "flags" are hidden in purposefully vulnerable programs or websites. These flags are collected and turned in for points by competitors.

This year we have a KidzMash Capture the Flag. It is intentionally crafted to be more kid-friendly than the adult CTF that happens every year.

In order to register for the KidzMash CTF, find Charles in person in the KidzMash area (@Charles L Yost [KidzMash] on Discord) He will give you a tag that will give you access to the KidzMash CTF Website.

You can use the tag at the KidzMash CTF Terminal in the Atrium to logon, view challenges, and capture flags (the solutions to the challenges). Alternatively, many phones can read the tags and therefore log you into the Website as well.

The flags (which all start with "KM-") can be found by solving challenges. Laminated copies of the challenges are available in Makerz. And there are a limited amount of paper copies that may be taken with you.
