Public FAQ

Clear entry conditions reduce friction.

Answers to the main questions a participant or sponsor will ask before registration.

Why can't I log in immediately after registration?

Registration alone is not enough for the pilot. You must verify your email and then wait for explicit admin approval before platform access is unlocked.

Do I need to register before accessing the CTF?

Yes. Registration and authentication are required before entering the competition portal and joining events.

Will every challenge require VPN access?

Not necessarily. The platform supports VPN-gated challenge lifecycle controls when the event or lab policy requires segmented access.

Can I attack the platform itself?

No. Only intended challenge targets and assigned lab resources are in scope. Platform abuse is prohibited.

Can event rules change?

Yes. Challenge availability, scoring, rewards and operational controls may change without prior notice when fairness or safety requires it.

How do I reach the labs once approved?

Approved users generate a restricted WireGuard profile from their account profile. The VPN is only for lab reachability and does not open admin or broad host access.
