We are happy to announce the 2023 “MAMMOTH mini-CTF”! This is a 10 challenge music themed CTF that will be embedded in the .mp3 for our song “Debugged (the sound of an exploit)”. It ran from 2023-08-04 17:00 PDT to 2023-08-13 17:00 PDT.
This mini-CTF is jeopardy style with 10 challenges. The challenges are puzzle based and generally involve music related themes. They involve a wide variety of things like steganography and hiding/encoding data in various music/audio formats, a basic encryption challenge, a couple networking related challenges and even a challenge involving chatting with an AI over the phone to convince it to give you the key! No software or binary exploitation skills are required, but some challenges are significantly easier to solve with coding/scripting.
Details can be found here.
