CyberPaws CTF: Week 3 (Fall 24)
Who Am I
The Week 3 CyberPaws CTF challenge has been released! Please submit your flag to the "CyberPaws CTF Bot" on our Discord via DMs, using the `!submit` command! You have until our next meeting to submit. The flag will always be in the following format: Paws{ex4mpl3_fl4g}.
Category: OSINT
Challenge Name: Who Am I
Challenge Description:
Somewhere within the public information of the amazon.com domain, there’s a clue that will lead you to a relatively well-known location. Your task is to dig into this data and uncover the name of the largest, closest park near the domain's listed registrant address. Think carefully about what tools might reveal a domain's background, and follow the trail to the flag.
Note: Format will be Paws{park_name}, all lowercase. Any and all spaces should be replaced with underscores.
DM a Board member for a hint if you get stuck.
Best of Luck,
Izzy
CyberDawgs Vice President
Hey CyberDawgs,
Tonight we are meeting once again from 7:15PM to 8:15PM in ILSB 118!
We will be having the Competition Team and Tryout Informational Meeting. We will go over the team's organization and the current tryout format. If cyber competitions are something you have any interest in, you don't want to miss this meeting!
The meetings are hosted virtually if you can't make it in-person: https://umbc.webex.com/meet/CyberDawgs. Furthermore, we will be sharing meeting recordings and slides.
As a reminder: submissions to the CyberPaws CTF Bot for the previous week's challenge will be closed at the beginning of the meeting. If you would like to DM a board member to check if you got the correct flag afterwards, feel free to do so. We will be doing a walkthrough of the challenge at the beginning of the meeting, though :p
Respectfully,
Izzy
CyberDawgs Vice President

CyberPaws CTF: Week 1 (Fall 24)
Take a Look Around
The firstCyberPaws CTF challenge has been released! Please submit your flag to the "CyberPaws CTF Bot" on our Discord via DMs, using the `!submit` command! You have until our next meeting to submit. The flag will always be in the following format: Paws{ex4mpl3_fl4g}.
Category: Crypto/OSINT
Challenge Name: Take a Look Around
Welcome to this semester's CyberPaws CTF Competition! For your first challenge, you need to get familiar with the CyberPaws CTF Bot and flag submission procedures.
The flag is being stored somewhere on this server. Take some time to investigate the bot's profile, maybe it has clues to its whereabouts. Once you find it, make sure to submit it to the CyberPaws CTF Bot as a DM for credit! Good luck!
DM a board member for help if you get stuck.
Best of Luck,
Izzy
CyberDawgs Vice President
