Flare, in partnership with SANS, is bringing WiCyS members and non members a beginner-friendly CTF built for anyone with the Tor browser and an hour to level up. No downloads, no paid tools, no prior CTF experience required.

In Sisterhood of the Traveling Packets, you’ll infiltrate a careless ransomware collective’s dark web leak site, uncovering their OPSEC failures through forensics, exploitation, and decoding to turn the hunters into the hunted.

What you get:

• A fully browser-based challenge, running August 17 to 19
• The first 250 solvers earn a Sisterhood of the Travelling Packets T-shirt
