Blue Team Event in Eugene, OR during DEFCON 2019

Similar to a small-scale Joes-vs-Pros event, we set up two (minimum) blue teams that compete to keep their networks safe from the Red Team. The Gray team, if present, can be hunting flags and fun CTF-style puzzles on the machines in the network, complaining to the Blue Team if they can’t get to a server or if a service goes down.

The Gold team manages the network simulation platform (ESXi, etc.) and operation of the Scoreboard/Scorebot.

Due to the number of technical problems and the extent of setup and operation, two 8-hour consecutive days seems like a good length for the event. Optional party to follow on Sat evening.

You can participate in a number of ways:

• Blue Team Player - laptop with working VPN software requireed, but any level of hacker skill welcome. Guard and fix your servers while the Red Team tries to sneak in and take them over!
• Read Team Player - Up to 4 people appointed to be Red Team players.
• Gold Team - Up to 4 people helping run the ESXi machines, scroebot, and infrastructure.
• Gray Team - A user who can hunt for flags and solve puzzles on the servers being safeguarded by the Blue Team. But beware, your puzzle machines might be down a good percentage of the time due to Red Team's efforts!
• Volunteer - help with water, food, table setup, cleanup, documenting, cables, projectors, check-in, physical security, and more.

All slots/tickets are free, and all roles are unpaid. Got any other creative ideas? Let us know! Let's have a great time, learn a ton, and salve our sadness at missing DEFCON 27.
