Snyk’s Fetch the Flag CTF is More Than Just a CTF

Snyk has partnered with John Hammond to host 'Fetch the Flag,' a 12-hour Capture the Flag (CTF) event for thousands of security professionals, practitioners, and members of the DevOps community since 2023. The annual CTF competition takes place on February 27 at 9 a.m. EST. Unlike some CTF events that are perceived as not being "real-world" or practical, Snyk's Fetch the Flag is inspired by real-world vulnerabilities, hacks, and exploits seen in the industry. This year's event will feature multiple challenges tied to real-world incidents, including an insecure access control challenge where players had to uncover hidden data on a camping checklist site made vulnerable by insecure access controls, and two remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability challenges: one related to Apache Spark Shell RCE (CVE-2022-33891) and the other to GitPython RCE (CVE-2022-24439). The competition is open to teams of up to 5 players, with prizes awarded to the top 3 teams and individual players.
