What is Capture the Flag? How do I participate?

• Capture the Flag, or CTF, is a next generation learning platform where people can obtain hands-on experience in a gamified environment
• During a CTF game, the player is given a series of treasure-hunt-like tasks (aka flags), that are done in a real environment with the goal of obtaining an understanding of how things work.
• Players will need to register an account in the Capture the Flag portal, there is no cost to register or play
• Once registered, begin your mission here! 

When is the Capture the Flag event?

• February 26th 2:30 PM PST - March 4th 2024 2:30 PM PST

Why should I participate?

• Because it’s fun!
• Learn about the basics of navigating and participating in the ThousandEyes Support Community
• Anyone who participates and completes the mission during the timeframe (2.26.24 - 3.4.24) will receive a “ThousandEyes CTF Champion” badge on their community profile page as proof of their champion status within one month of completion.
• The first 50 participants to complete the mission and capture all the flags will qualify for a ThousandEyes t-shirt

Hi Tyler - is there single mission for this CTF?

[chrismeisner]

Hi Tyler, I'm getting the same when I log in. The event shows it is over. Thanks

[Tyler Langston]

@phil-aus , @chrismeisner  - apologies for the confusion! I included the test run link in my post instead of the actual one! 

Correct Link: https://thousandeyes-en.ciscoctf.io/user/event/join?e=6GHHSK&key=c1ffd793-5a1c-4a67-a88b-bc8754b7a434 

I've also updated the link in my original post - sorry about the confusion and thanks for bringing it to my attention!

[chrismeisner]

@Tyler Langston - No worries, I was able to access the CTF with this link. Thank you

[phil-aus]

@Tyler Langston  Thank-you. Link is working now and just completed the CTF

[snmitrov]

Thank You for the new link! 

[snmitrov]

 Just finished as well - should we expect more missions to be added?

[Tyler Langston]

@snmitrov - there are definitely other missions on the subject of ThousandEyes that we could use in the future.

[arun.chackasseril]

saw 5 missions is there more?

[Tyler Langston]

@arun.chackasseril - I think there are more than that available on the topic of ThousandEyes, but some of them were created long enough ago that we would want to review them for continued accuracy prior to launching them again. 

If you mean the Mission on the topic of the support community there are 6 flags!

[Karsten Iwen]

The community doesn't like an honest answer when trying to finish the last flag ... But the flag can be captured by posting a link to any conversation that was started.

Just started the challenge and hope to finish it today. Thanks.
