CyberBowl Rules

  • The USCC West Coast CTF starts on Friday, July 24th at 8am PDT and ends at 12:30pm ODT.
  • The flag regex is: USCC\{[A-Za-z0-9_!?-\}. Flags may include spaces.
  • Do not use AI tools to send traffic directly to the hosted challenges. You may use AI tools "offline" (e.g. talking through challenges, creating payloads, etc with an LLM) but do not use AI tools to send traffic *to* the hosted challenges. This causes large amounts of traffic that can disrupt CTF access, and it defeats the purpose of having you understand and solve the challenges.
  • You may not use--and will not need--automated "auto solve" or brute-force scanning tools like dirb, sqlmap, dirbuster, etc. By contrast, using scripts that you yourself have written IS allowed. If you are not sure if a tool is allowed, please ask in Discord directly or by opening a ticket.
  • Do not attack the CTFd server. Do not sabotage infrastructure for other teams, either.
  • The CTF team is available in Discord (in #general-chat or via ticket) for questions. Our usernames start with "CTF - ".
  • You may only compete in this USCC "Digital Junkyard" CTF once. If this challenge set is used in future USCC competitions, you may compete in it only for fun, not prizes.
