Rules
Attack the challenges, not the platform. Play as one team. Organizer decisions are final.
| # | Rule | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Attack only in-scope targets | You may only attack official challenge instances and files provided by organizers. Do not scan, probe, exploit, or brute-force the scoreboard, registration, other teams, instancers, or any host outside the challenge. |
| 2 | Do not disrupt infrastructure | No denial of service, traffic floods, port scans of the platform, or anything that degrades shared services. If a challenge looks broken, open a ticket — do not “fix” it by attacking the host. |
| 3 | Flags stay inside your team | Do not share flags, hints, payloads, or solutions with anyone outside your team. Do not submit a flag you did not earn. Public write-ups are allowed only after the event ends. |
| 4 | One player, one account | Do not register multiple accounts, share logins, or play on another team’s account. Team size limits (if set) are enforced. Solo players compete as a team of one. |
| 5 | No scoreboard games | Do not withhold flags to manipulate ranking, dump the API for hidden challenges you are not meant to see, or interfere with another team’s instances or submissions. |
| 6 | Report platform bugs | If you find a bug in CTFd, the instancer, or scoring, tell organizers privately via tickets. Do not use it for points. Challenge bugs that are the intended path are fair game. |
| 7 | Respect the community | Harassment, hate speech, and toxic behaviour are not tolerated — in chat, tickets, streams, or match broadcasts. Girls in CTF is a safe space for women and girls in cybersecurity. |
| 8 | One faction | You compete on one of three leaderboards: Human, Humanoid, or Cyborg. Register on the matching bracket and stay there. Using a higher-tier method moves you up. See AI Policy. |
| 9 | Staff decisions are final | RE:UN10N may warn, move, or disqualify a team for rule or AI Policy violations. Finals may add operational rules, announced before that round. Questions go through tickets. |
