Rules

• Every player can join as many teams as they like. Teams are scored on the scoreboard.
• Every player must take part in at least one team. If you wanna participate solo, just create a team and you're good (you will be the only person in your team). Only teams appear on the scoreboard.
• Don't share flags with anyone, including your team. That is cheating. Submit the flag yourself, and it will be counted for all the teams you are a member of.
• Denial of Service attacks are not cool. Seriously. Everybody is capable of DOSing us. No honor in that.
• There are no crazy tricks or magic steps you need to take (well maybe once or twice). The challenges are logical and follow a logical path.
• You never need to brute-force anything in Hack Dat kiwi. Well sometimes you do, but those things are always on your own computer, not on our servers or networks. Don't brute-force us.
• Each challenge needs to be solved independently. You should not use the vulnerabilities of one challenge to leak the flag of another challenge, otherwise your team(s) will be disqualified.
• Any questions or concerns you have, shoot them at IRC chat or email.
• Found bugs in the challenges or the portal? Report them for a extra points!
• Cheating (i.e giving solutions or flags to other players) is not ok. After the contest, logs will be analyzed and cheaters will be listed on a wall of shame.
• If you only know one category, just focus on that category. Category winners will also receive prizes.
• News and announcements will be available on the portal.
• Don't worry about receiving the prize. We will work with you to get it done!
• Don't do anything illegal. Also don't attempt to hack the portal. Hack that kiwi, not this one. Seriously.
