FREQUENTLY ASKED

Clarifications on common gray areas

Can I use public exploit code?

Yes, as long as you understand the code and it doesn't violate infrastructure rules. Blind copy-pasting is discouraged — we encourage learning.

Is collaboration allowed?

Team registration is available. Individuals cannot share flags across separate accounts. Form a team before the competition starts.

What happens if I find a vulnerability in the platform?

Report immediately to admins via Telegram. Do not exploit it. Responsible disclosures may earn bonus points.

Can I use AI assistants (ChatGPT, etc.)?

Permitted but must be disclosed in your final write-up. Over-reliance may hinder learning. Automated AI solvers are banned.
