PHDays CTF Quals, an information security competition, took place from 12 p.m. on January 25 to 12 p.m. on January 27 and lasted for the whole 48 hours. Dragon Sector, a Polish team, won the contest, though quite unexpectedly. PPP from US took second place and More Smoked Leet Chicken (Russia) came third again.
The main feature of this Quals (as compared to the previous years' competitions) was a special quest game. Participants should solve it in order to earn points, which could be used to open CTF tasks and then gain final points. The plot of the quest was based on the legend, which was the part of PHDays III CTF. This time teams needed to work shoulder to shoulder with the Golem special division and investigate an incident related to the spreading of the Detcelfer worm.
