CTF: Thieves in the Temple

Trend Micro’s “Thieves in the Temple” Capture the Flag (CTF) event is tailored to those who are new to hacking challenges, offering an engaging experience for participants with a basic skill set. If this is your first foray into hacking games, this event is the perfect starting point. Beginner CTF players can dive in and achieve success, while those with some experience—though not yet at an expert level—can tackle the “hard mode” for added complexity and a greater challenge.

“Thieves in the Temple” Participants will navigate the CTF challenges using common hacking tools to infiltrate an environment, escalate privileges, and exfiltrate data to achieve the objective. They will gain a unique “purple team” experience, getting hands-on with cybersecurity incident response by exploring response actions and detections. This will involve uncovering forensic artifacts from the threats they’ve executed, completing the CTF challenges from both an offensive and defensive perspective.

The challenge will take a total of about 3 hours to complete (if played without a break) but players will be able to play the entire duration of the conference.
