Summary
A recent national CTF event, HACK-ERA CTF, was held at Graphic Era Deemed University, challenging security enthusiasts with real-world cyber scenarios
The intra-university round required participants to solve two challenges: The Hidden Profile required users to access other people’s accounts via an IDOR vulnerability in the provided TaskMaster website, finding flags 1 and 2 required finding the admin user and then retrieving a flag, and in Challenge 2, The Last Transmission, attendees had to retrieve a flag from an image using steganography, accessing it via a password found in the image’s metadata.
The event combined education and competition, and aimed to test and improve participants’ hacking skills and encourage interest in cyber security.
