Learning Obstacles in the Capture The Flag Model

چکیده
Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions have been used in the computer security community for education and evaluation objectives for over a decade. These competitions are often regarded as excellent approaches to learn deeply technical concepts in a fun, non-traditional learning environment, but there are many difficulties associated with developing and competing in a CTF event that are rarely discussed that counteract these benefits. CTF competitions often have issues related to participation, quality assurance, and confusing challenges. These problems affect the overall quality of a CTF competition and describe how effective they are at catalyzing learning and assessing skill. In this paper, we present insights and lessons learned from organizing CSAW CTF, one of the largest and most successful CTFs.

Learning Control for an Xpilot-AI Agent Playing Capture the Flag
Xpilot-AI is an environment where researchers can test autonomous agent control and learning programs. It is based on Xpilot, which is an open source, 2d space combat game. Xpilot-AI allows a programmer to write scripts that control an agent playing a game of Xpilot. In previous work, a wide range of techniques have been used to develop controllers that are focused on the combat skills for an X...

متن کاملCapture-the-flag: Learning Computer Security under Fire
In this paper, we describe the Capture-the-Flag (CTF) activity and argue that it contributes to a necessary component of the computer security curriculum. This component is the study of software vulnerability investigation. It is currently not properly emphasized in this curriculum. We discuss reasons for this situation and we go on to describe how CTF can be useful for educating students withi...
متن کاملDynamic Obstacle Avoidance by Distributed Algorithm based on Reinforcement Learning (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper we focus on the application of reinforcement learning to obstacle avoidance in dynamic Environments in wireless sensor networks. A distributed algorithm based on reinforcement learning is developed for sensor networks to guide mobile robot through the dynamic obstacles. The sensor network models the danger of the area under coverage as obstacles, and has the property of adoption o...
