RuCTF in english [DEPRECATED]

Let's see tonight on afterparty and tomorrow on awarding ceremony! :)

Thank you!

RuCTF 2017 orgs and devs team

(but translation isn't over)

The RuCTF 2017 final is over!
The awarding ceremony will be tomorrow at the Assembly Hall on Lenina 51 (same place as where the opening was) at 11 a.m.

Right now participants are going straight to "The Butcher" for afterparty. If you are in Yeltsin Presidential Center, the bus is already waiting for you :) It will depart at 8.50 pm

We want to check the final amount of SLA, so stay tuned for a results :)

One another First Blood 3 minutes ago! Bushwhackers hacked Star Gate.

It's about twenty minutes left, and Bushwhackers confidentially hold their first place!

While we were publishing the post, LC↯BC went down to 5th place, and Tower of Hanoi occupied 4th place ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Had a talk with developers Mikhail Vyatskov and Maxim Muzafarov:
-- Bushwhackers made a large gap from 2nd place (Tower of Hanoi). It's too early to talk about others (first version if this post became irrelevant while we were writing it, as SiBears and Shadow Servants got up in scoreboard, leaving behind LC↯BC, and it's unpredictable what's going to happen in next minutes).
-- This year we want to note that a good difference of this final from previous ones is the green colour of a scoreboard, which means most teams have their services up almost all the time.

A little more than three hours left. Now it is a coffee break time, but the game is not pausing. Who do you think is going to win? :)

-- The thing is the single board computers are popular, convenient for development (you can test your service anywhere, just put the computer in your pocket) and inexpensive. Besides they are cool and interesting to us :)
Another advantage: services are separated on a hardware level, which allows to avoid unexpected problems when through vulnerability of one service it's possible to steal flags from the others.

Today all teams got in usage those server stages, which consist of Orange Pi Zero. We learned from the developers why they chose this particular hardware.
