Capture The Packet (CTP)
The time for those of hardened mettle is drawing near; are you prepared to battle? Compete in the world’s most challenging cyber defense competition based on the Aries Security Cyber Range . In order to triumph over your competitors, contestants must be well rounded, like the samurai. Tear through the challenges, traverse a hostile enterprise class network, and diligently analyze what is found in order to make it out unscathed. Not only glory, but prizes await those that emerge victorious from this upgraded labyrinth.
The Dark Tangent has asked that we extend your time in the labyrinth and this has caused the difficulty of challenges to be amplified, so only the best prepared and battle hardened will escape the crucible.

Wall Of Sheep
