PHDays CTF Quals, information security competition, ended last week. 493 teams from 30 countries competed in information hacking and protection. All the tasks were divided into five categories from Reverse Engineering to the tasks typical of the real world (the details and results of the competition are available in our previous post). Each category included five tasks of different challenge levels (from 100 to 500 points).
The majority of the tasks were solved by the teams, some of them caused troubles, and some were left unsolved. Moreover, for a part of the tasks the teams used such solutions, which were not even considered by the organizers. This time we want to review the most interesting (in our opinion) and difficult tasks of PHDays CTF Quals.
