Be respectful

Before contacting support or communicating with any member of the organizing team, please remain respectful and courteous at all times. Disrespectful, abusive, or inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated under any circumstances. We reserve the right to ban or disqualify individuals or entire teams for violations of this policy.

Team membership is mandatory

Joining or creating a team is mandatory. Players without a team cannot participate. If you do not have a team, you can create one. Teams with one member are allowed!

Team Captains must approve or reject members BEFORE the competition starts on 4th of September. After that date, only member approvals are allowed. It is the responsibility of the Team Captain to ensure that the members of their team are correct. On the Team page, you can find your team's Invite URL. Use it to invite your teammates.

Once the competition starts, team or category changes will no longer be allowed. If you joined the wrong team or category, contact support BEFORE 4th of September.

NO aggressive scans or attacks to other participants

Do not perform aggressive scans or launch DoS attacks against the targets, services, or other players. If your tools require concurrency, make sure it is kept within reasonable limits. Our systems automatically block players who exceed the allowed limits.

If you are blocked, you must wait one hour for the block to expire. Support will NOT perform manual unblocks, so you will have to wait.

Other participants and moderators are not part of the competition targets, so do not abuse or attack them. We take abuse reports very seriously, and violations of this rule may result in a permanent ban from this and future competitions.

No AI is allowed

No AI tools are allowed!!! If you are caught using any AI tools, you and your entire team will be disqualified. We do not accept excuses or appeals regarding AI usage. Simply put: DO NOT use AI!

Do not use VPN, VPS or other services

Do not connect using Virtual Private Servers (VPS), Dedicated Servers, or similar hosting services. Always connect from your home or university network.

We regularly monitor connected IP addresses and will block any that are identified as originating from these services. Using a VPS, Dedicated Server, or any external VPN service may result in your account being banned.

Do not cheat

Any cheating by a team member will result in the entire team being disqualified. We reserve the right to make this decision at our sole discretion and are not obligated to provide an explanation. If you are unsure whether something is allowed, do not do it. We do not provide guidance on what is or is not permitted.
