Congratulations! You have found the launch page for the DEF CON 31 Aerospace Village Capture the Flag (CTF) contest.
We live in vexatious times. The pace of change in Aerospace seems to escalate every day. The amount of information about cyber threats to our platforms has never been higher. That rate of change is having tectonic effects on the industry.
From the moment that the Wright Brothers demonstrated the reality of powered human flight, a series of breakthrough innovations has repeatedly transformed the industry. For every person leaning into the future, many more are opposed to change, actively fighting against progress.
There are three possible responses to moments like this. We can retreat into an idealized past of simpler times where we were less aware, we can become frozen in our present, or we can…
Adapt and Ride the Shockwave into the Future.
Everything you need to start the quest is right here.
The first person to complete the challenge will win a 1/48 scale model of the F-35B. A second model will be awarded by a draw from all the other people who successfully complete the challenge by the time the Aerospace Villages closes on Sunday at 2. Good luck!
