Flag Rotation for Challenges is a new feature that generates unique flags for each team upon each docker deployment.

This new release adds an extra layer of anti-cheating measures, ensuring everyone gets a fair and competitive playing field on the CTF platform.

Note: Flag rotation is only applicable to selective challenges.

We're excited to announce the release of our first defensive scenario in the Operation Shield Wall series!

We've received intelligence suggesting a possible breach in the Velorian Ministry of Defense's public Wi-Fi network. This is especially concerning because government officials, including ministers, rely on this network with their own BYoD (Bring Your Own Device) setups.

Your mission? Analyze the provided packet capture to determine how and when this breach occurred.

Engaging with OpShieldWall-1, you'll:

• Identify a Wi-Fi compromise.
• Assess the risks of inadequate network segmentation.
• Investigate traffic between devices on the compromised network.
• Understand the TLP Amber protocol for discreet investigation.

Good luck, and happy hunting!

What's all the FUZZ about? 😨

A new HTB Academy module is here! Dive into the powerful testing technique and learn how to use it to spot critical issues in software.

A new module is here to help you master Active Directory trust attacks!

• Understand enumerating and attacking intra-forest and cross-forest
• Learn how to explain hardening considerations to customers for risk mitigation

This new feature generates unique flags for each team with every docker deployment, improving our platform's anti-cheating measures.

This way we can ensure a level playing field for all participants in HTB CTF Events 🎉

PS: Flag rotation is applicable only to selected challenges, not all.

We’re thrilled to introduce Operation Shield Wall, a series of five (5) exclusive Sherlocks & two (2) Machines within HTB Dedicated Labs, focused on a cyber incident affecting the National Digital Infrastructure of Veloria.

We will be releasing a new scenario each week, from May 3 to June 14, to ensure you’re always one step ahead of emerging threats and prepare you for real-time breach and crisis simulation, incident analysis, and tactic response.

Upon completion of all seven (7) scenarios, you’ll receive a collectible coin as a symbol of your commitment to cybersecurity readiness.
