CyberNationals — Root the Box, Hold the Line

Field notes

The page lays out a three-level competition using named attack chains rather than abstract challenge labels. NetTools runs from command injection through sudo find to root, while Advanced Vault lists LFI, authenticated RCE, and cap_setuid. The stated workflow ranks red-side time-to-root or blue-side survival, interleaves those results into a seeded bracket, and advances winners automatically. The sign-up form asks competitors to choose a level and an attacking or defending role.
