Location > Online or at DEFCON 34 | Enrollments > Individuals and Teams
Starts > Friday August 7th 10am PDT | Ends > Sunday August 9th 12pm PDT
The Hacking GRC CTF is a hands-on cybersecurity competition designed to immerse participants in the practical aspects of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification’s (CMMC) top ten “Other Than Satisfied,” or failed, security controls. Through realistic, challenge-based scenarios, players explore security gaps, misconfigurations that would pass a security control audit, and threats faced by defense contractors.
The CTF blends technical problem-solving with compliance-driven thinking and cryptographic knowledge- helping participants understand how security requirements translate into real-world incidents. The results of this CTF will directly inform doctoral research on the efficacy of the NIST SP 800-171r2 and CMMC frameworks.
This CTF is hosted on Simulations Labs. You can run your own too on their platform
