[tawny wigeon]

lol I suppose

[frank bobcat]

congrats on the successful event dice! didn't have a chance to play much but the team liked it and what i saw was rad 👏

[uneven pendant]

some of the orgs may have tuned in to an aaronxaaron stream last night of kernel pwning

[frank bobcat]

yeah i saw them going at it for a while, not sure how close they got but what they did was pretty slick

[wanton crane]

yes

old fashioned

[uncut relic]

Hi. Will the official publish the source code of all challs?

[neon matrix]

where do i find the solves

for the puzzels

[uneven pendant]

whether or not sources are released will be up to authors, but we will be uploading all the challenges to github soon™️ (this includes challenge descriptions, all files provided during the CTF, as well as deployment files)

[uneven pendant]

there are a lot of writeups posted in #writeups already, and you can find more on ctftime https://ctftime.org/event/1236/tasks/

[neon matrix]

this is me trying to solve the 4th level of dice is you and then realizing that wasn't even the challenge

[dark cave]

For how long will the CTF be open?

!bean @ocean thicket

[normal valve]

🔒 You do not have the required permissions to run this command

[gentle island]

level 4 did take some time to figure out

I wasn't in the right mindset

[thorn dome]

honestly i glitched lvl 4 the first time i solved it

[unique sail]

i still don't understand level 4

just form the expression and mash keys until you get the right ones in the same square?

at least that worked for me

[neon matrix]

you can meet the 2 guys

[wanton crane]

Did y'all play baba is you? I feel like I would have been lost if I hadn't played that game first

but I knew the trix

[gentle island]

I did not play baba is you

hence why wrong mindset

[wanton crane]

it's so good

and quick

the one with the non-walls killlllled me

[gentle island]

https://ginkoid.is-inside.me/vxkjzRAt.mp4

[wanton crane]

that one was great

it would be neat to work out an optimal solution though

[unique sail]

you can probably save a few steps by moving both characters to the stop section after moving SICE and then move FLAG

[orchid sparrow]

baba is you is so difficult

[manic dune]

dice tf2 tournament when?

[amber wind]

TRUE

[meager wadi]

dice is you tournament when

did they make it just for this CTf or was this like a project formerly unrelated

Guess it uses markdown escaping

[vague bramble]

when you use kunai so it don't matter 👀

[amber wind]

the only benefit of the kunai is nArUtO

[gentle solar]

i was so close to my first matador

and then i died bc of the low hp from kunai

and the other time was when my knife melted

[vague bramble]

stabbing engineers in front of their sentry

or just stabbing anyone in front of a level 3

then you can surf the sentry rockets

[amber wind]

big earner is just kunai but better

[vague bramble]

uh no

random pipes

rockets

[amber wind]

(applies to the kunai as well)

also cloak damage res lets you live a pipe

so

[vague bramble]

but that applies to the big earner after a stab as well

kunai lets you tank basically anything after getting a stab

[amber wind]

after getting a stab

70 health is piss weak

100 health is enough to not get one shot by a rocket

it's enough to live a pipe when cloaked

it's enough to not get 1-shot by a scout unless they get a full meatshot

[vague bramble]

i legit never die before getting a stab or missing one

[amber wind]

that's probably cause you're playing pubs against shitty players

[vague bramble]

eh i play on uncle dane's servers as well

i mean i've beaten pubstomping kritzed demos too but that doesn't really count

tried playing a rgl pug but i swear their sniper had bat ears

[amber wind]

it's called aimbot

[thorn dome]

creators.tf is p much the only servers I play anymore

[amber wind]

I play tf2 with like 15% volume so you could probably decloak with a ringer behind me and I would've even notice

[vague bramble]

i checked creators.tf and it looked like most of their servers are empty

also casual is playable now with everyone instakicking bots

[thorn dome]

Yeah it's 9 am on a Tuesday

[vague bramble]

no like before during normal times

[thorn dome]

The anti-bot bits r cool

[vague bramble]

i've checked a few times

[thorn dome]

Huh haven't played in a while tbh

[vague bramble]

yeah bot problem in casual is manageable now

https://github.com/PazerOP/tf2_bot_detector

also there's this now

client side blacklist because volvo can't be bothered

[thorn dome]

dead game rip

[vague bramble]

eh i started playing late last year

so

not ded

lots of new players still

[thorn dome]

Total overwatch rip-off

[vague bramble]

yep

[vague bramble]

have you seen pier?

its a community map that valve added to the official map rotation

payload

lots of open space for spy

[vague bramble]

what do you main?

[amber wind]

mainly demo now

cause it's the most fun

[vague bramble]

trapping or hitting pipes?

[amber wind]

I play hybridknight pepega

iron bomber tide turner and then either eyelander or pan

it's not the sweatiest loadout but it's fun

[vague bramble]

how do you live with 150 health

[amber wind]

you get a melee kill

[vague bramble]

a

[amber wind]

that's why I use the pan unless I'm in a shitty pub

there's also the trick where you can put on the booties and splendid screen then get like 4 heads then switch out to the tide turner and iron bomber

and keep the heads

[vague bramble]

demoknight is just spy without cloaking prove me wrong

[amber wind]

hybridknight is just spy but with a fucking grenade launcher instead of a gun yes

[vague bramble]

instead of using cloak to get closer you use charge

you both rely on the enemy not noticing that you're there until its too late

gets bonus on kill(more cloak,charge, health, speed)

[amber wind]

yeah except as spy if people notice you you're fucked

[vague bramble]

nah you're the second fastest class in the game

also you can cloak

[amber wind]

*tied for second fastest

[vague bramble]

why picking medics is hard

usually they're not actually that hard to get

they back up a lot

[amber wind]

there are also classes that have almost no counterplay against demoknights (assuming no random crits)

[vague bramble]

other demos

i mean technically all classes do have a counterplay

switching to melee

[amber wind]

if no random crits demo wins 9 times out of 10

[vague bramble]

but basically the weakest ones would be soldier with a banner and the escape plan

and probably spy

and medic

and sniper

[amber wind]

fighting demoknight as demo is kinda pain

[vague bramble]

basically every class that spy is good against

except engineer

[amber wind]

stickies don't do shit cause they take too long to detonate and pipes kill you too

engies and heavies are the reason I play hybridknight pepega

heavies are the worst to demoknight again

5 hits my ass

[vague bramble]

i play spy because you can kill anything

[amber wind]

by that time they can rev up a fuckin brass beast and kill you

[vague bramble]

trickstab the medic

trickstab the scout

normal stabs on everyone else

free heals everywhere

permanent cloak with letrange

[amber wind]

if the scout doesn't play like an idiot you can't trickstab him

[vague bramble]

if they don't notice you they run past you

or backup into you

technically trickstab?

idk

trickstabs aren't really useful tho

they're only useful when you fucked up and are in the middle of the entire enemy team

and they're not guaranteed to work

positioning is important

pier lets you get into good positions easily so its easy to get top scoring as spy

[gentle island]

mm yes trickstab valve pepega

I too am a hipster tf2 player

[hollow jasper]

i haven't joined a casual game in a year 🤢

[vague bramble]

pubstomping is fun

but you play roamer so you can't pubstomp without a medic

[hollow jasper]

fam i play soldier in general

1830 mge elo

😤

roamer is the 12% heals tho wym

[vague bramble]

https://tenor.com/view/nickyoung-questionmarks-what-excuseme-huh-gif-4486363

[hollow jasper]

?

[vague bramble]

what does that mean

[hollow jasper]

u usually get 12% of all heals in a 6v6

around that

[vague bramble]

oh

[amber wind]

medic gets 88% of heals

[vague bramble]

~~ agressive kritzkrieg taunting ~~

[vague bramble]

the two guys who are my nemeses are the soldiers on the enemy team
soldier just isn't that good for pub stomping

[hollow jasper]

do any of them actually play soldier tho

LOL

[vague bramble]

yeah probs considering they actually had the ability to turn around

and also were in a party i think

[green sail]

Guys how can I export my exploit for hashbrown remotely?

All I have is a shell, no gcc

[vague bramble]

now that i think about it that's a really low bar

well the requestcatcher finally receive the request but the message has been ruined by some magic ways:v

[vague bramble]

just saying, an easier way to solve instead of making a new element and appending it

just set window.location

you'd probably never do this in the real world because the end user would notice but its much cleaner for a ctf problem

[south rock]

After the CTF I learned that my solution wasn't the smoothest, but I wanted to share my solution, not someone elses 🙂

At the challenge authors, how do you make challenges not guessy?

[manic dune]

Experience but also providing a solve path

https://medium.com/@TCS_20XX/pactf-2018-writeup-skywriting-a5f857463c07

For example, here's a guessy challenge

As a general idea, the goal should never be in doubt

Just the way of achieving the goal

[south rock]

Thanks for the resource btw

[manic dune]

right

so the big thing that made this challenge so guessy was not knowing what to do at the next step

given 20 files, where do you look?

[south rock]

yeah thats true

[manic dune]

the randomness check was pretty cool but what do you do from there?

look for random text in a file?

like just read the sentence "Once you disambiguate some homoglyphs, it’s really clear that certain digraphs and trigraphs appear with complete uniformity"

which is bruh

[south rock]

I would have never come up with that solution lol

[neon matrix]

just make a pwn challenge

the objective is to pwn

[manic dune]

Lol

Yeah so

[neon matrix]

it is literally impossible for it to be guessy

you have to pwn

[manic dune]

Those are just some general guidelines

For a lot of harry's challenges the goal was obvious: get all pips on the die to light up, get a correct solution to dice is you, etc

Getting there was the hard part

[uneven pendant]

also for pretty much everything except rev: if releasing source makes the chall trivial, then it's a bad chall

ofc there are exceptions

such as blind rop :3

but this applies particularly to web and crypto

[unique sail]

f o r e n s i c s

[gentle island]

the best challenges don't have source to provide

🙂

[unique sail]

facts

[lean chasm]

so the secret to good challenge is making guessy forensics challenge by hand instead of with a script
got it

[long grove]

Blind ROP

[fallow tiger]

very new to docker, can someone explain to me how to set up the challenges locally?

[meager wadi]

you probably dont need to setup every challenge. which challenge do you want to run?

[fallow tiger]

i didnt have much time to solve the challs during the official ctf, so i was hoping to get the majority of them set up. is there like a general rule of thumb for how i would accomplish this?

[unique sail]

a good amount of them are still hosted online

[fallow tiger]

i believe so, but idk when i'll be able to get to them. im still pretty busy with school so i was hoping for a quick way to get challs set up locally

[gentle island]

chances are they'll be up for quite some time

[meager wadi]

all challenges should remain up for about a month

Hey so I am doing a Blind format string challenge and am Missing correct libc otherwise it's done
I do know it's on Ubuntu 2.27 but getting the right libc is a problem
Apparently I tried libc6..2.27_1.x.so (x is 1,2,3,4) but nothing worked
Unless I am missing something
That function works on the hash and download the right libc, the catch is I don't know exact which one.
I used blukat libc search , so the thing is I leaked __libc_start_main + y which was on stack, I do not the value of y, usually it's 231 but that's not the case here.

Hey guys I'm new here. Can anyone tell me how to register for the event?

[meager wadi]

registration will be up soon

[desert tundra]

Oh, thank you! I was worried I missed it

[hallow sequoia]

Usually in ctfs you can register even during the competition

[amber wind]

sorry but for dicectf you'll have to register during the full moon exactly 3 nights before the competition start otherwise you'll be disqualified

[hallow sequoia]

Less competitors

[hollow scroll]

is there any certificates for participants..?

like a certification of participation or anything

[limber relic]

when the game says jeopardy style, that means this game is pure jeopardy? no ssh or interactive challenge like CTF?

[limber relic]

@amber wind

[amber wind]

no because giving out certificates is weird

if you really want a certificate you can print one out yourself I guess

[amber wind]

jeopardy style just means you solve challenges to get flags and then you submit the flag for points

there can still be interactive challenges

Like can a beginner team take part?

And when will it be starting from?

[tawny wigeon]

there is a countdown timer on the homepage: https://ctf.dicega.ng/

[robust coral]

K

[arctic gyro]

a majority of challs will be difficult but there will be a few beginner ones too

we recommend you attempt the challenges no matter your previous experience because you will definitely learn something even if you don't end up with the flag

[robust coral]

Ok

At least that's what I was told

We are still finalizing the exact split, but there will likely be large prizes for the top 3 and small prizes for the top 10

[solemn rune]

This event starts Friday, right?

Will there still be a prize for top 100 or even top 50? (even a small one counts)

[tiny echo]

@amber wind Hello

may i know the what is the prize distribution ?

1st , 2nd , 3rd all will get some prize ?

or only the first ?

[amber wind]

our current plan is 1500/1000/500 then 200 for the rest of the top 10

we'll finalize the distribution when the ctf starts but this will likely be it

[tiny echo]

okay

thank you

[neon matrix]

did google cloud stopped sponsoring or what happened?

[warm gull]

yea we are not sponsored by them this year

[amber wind]

😔

[tiny echo]

will dice gang participate in the ctf ?

[amber wind]

dicegang is registered 👀

I heard dicegang has all the flags

[rapid nacelle]

Dice ctf proves dice gang beats Hellman

[uneven pendant]

dicegang is registered twice actually

[hallow sequoia]

damn
Setting up a ctf and winning it yourself to get an excuse to buy prizes

hi guys

Are points dynamic or static?

[vapid egret]

idk but i think its dynamic

[limpid compass]

dynamic

[golden veldt]

given this is made with rctf, I assume points are dynamic

[amber wind]

dynamic

[tawny wigeon]

I wish two people would server boost

[smoky temple]

I wish the blazers didn't trade two starters for eric bledsoe and the bench warmers

[hidden bluff]

morning

time 2 dice

[golden veldt]

will trade boosts for flags 👀

/s

[untold narwhal]

what does it mean its dynamic?

[hallow sequoia]

It means as more people solve a chall, this chall's points decreases (even for people who already solved it, so there's no unfairness due to timezones)
