This year, we have prepared a special training game to allow all participants to get a hands-on experience with our infrastructure before the main CTF event. As a registered participant, you will have access to the CTF Cloud Console, where you can launch a virtual machine with the service, search for vulnerability, hack another team, and protect your own service from potential attackers. This training will help you become more familiar with the rules of the upcoming CTF and our checking system.

To guide you through these steps, we've created a detailed step-by-step guide, which you can find here: https://2023.ctf.hitb.org/hitb-ctf-phuket-2023/training.

Don't be intimidated by the size of the guide. If you're already familiar with Attack-Defense CTFs, you should be able to complete it in an hour at most. However, if this is your first time participating in such a CTF, the training game is highly recommended. You can play the training game at any time before the competition starts, but we advise against waiting until the last moment, as we may be busy the day before the competition and may not be able to assist with any issues that arise 🙃.

So, go ahead and take the training game now and make sure to share it with your teammates: https://2023.ctf.hitb.org/hitb-ctf-phuket-2023/training. Completing the training will also earn your team bonus points in the main game.

And if you haven't registered for our CTF yet, what are you waiting for? 😉
