GAMEPLAY

There are 3 categories, each with its own set of challenges and scores.

  • Category 1: Virtual simulated vehicle environments

  • Category 2: Physical test bench with real car components

  • Category 3: Physical cluster

The challenges will help beginners get started on car hacking and the basics of vehicle communications.

  1. You can form a team with up to 3 persons.

  2. There are 4 actual vehicle environments — 2 virtual simulated vehicle environments, 1 physical test bench and 1 physical cluster (https://ctf.carsecurityquarter.org/video).

  3. To play, teams will remote access the 4 environments via ZeroTier VPN and SSH.

  4. Because you are accessing actual vehicle environments, there can only be 1 team working on 1 environment at any time. Hence, teams need to queue to get their hands on the environments. Teams are only allowed to queue for 1 of the 4 environments at a time (to allow everybody to have a chance to play).

  5. Each team will be allowed a duration of 30min per virtual environment/bench/cluster. Teams are allowed to re-queue even if they did not solve any challenge/question.

  6. To join the queue, you need to be connected to the environments' network. Network information will be sent to your registered CSQ CTF account. Once you are connected, ping the CSQ Crew on the "car-security-kampung" channel on the SINCON 2020 Virtual Conference Platform with the following information to get authenticated: (1) Specific network name you've joined (only 1 network at a time); (2) Team Name; (3); No. of players in the team; (4) Player(s)' handler; (5) Player(s)' device address shown in the ZeroTier network; and (5) Twitch account associated with the team (each team just need 1 Twitch account).

SCORING STRUCTURE

  • Flag structure: flag{xxx}

  • For CAN bus flags, it will be ID#xxxxx (data) without any space or dots (.) in between.

Some of the challenges require the teams to demonstrate that you can recreate the scenario and display it to the CSQ Crew to get your points awarded.


Please ping the "car-security-kampung" channel on the SINCON 2020 Virtual Conference Platform and inform the CSQ Crew about the challenge you are working on to get points.
