DESCRIPTION:   'Title: Battle of The Bots\n   When: Friday\, Aug 11\, 10:00
  - 17:59 PDT\n   Where: Caesars Forum - Summit - Contest Area - [1]Map\n\n
    Description:\n   Battle of The Bots presents a new twist on traditional
 \n   “King-of-The-Hill” style Capture the Flag events by incorporating
 \n   exploit development\, vulnerability analysis\, reverse engineering an
 d\n   software development in the form of developing computer worms aka\n 
   “bots”. BOTBs requires competitors to develop proof-of-concept\n   e
 xploits against varying misconfigured or vulnerable network services.\n   
 To maximize points scored\, the competitor’s bot must automatically\n   
 scan and compromise network services in the competition environment\n   au
 tonomously. Services that are harder to exploit (ex: requiring\n   memory 
 corruption exploits opposed to misconfigured databases) will\n   result in
  a higher point score for the competitor.\n\n   The vulnerable network ser
 vices will include real world vulnerable\n   services where a competitor c
 an adopt off the shelf proof-of-concepts\n   vulnerabilities from an offen
 sive security resource (ex: Metasploit\n   Framework\, exploit-db\, packet
 storm\, etc…) into their bot to achieve\n   access to said vulnerable se
 rvices. Additionally\, custom built\n   vulnerable services informed by OW
 ASP Top 10 security bugs as well as\n   CVEs will influence challenge deve
 lopment resulting in a competitor to\n   have the experience of reverse en
 gineering new applications to\n   identify vulnerabilities based on histor
 ically significant pain points\n   in Software Engineering as well as infa
 mous historical CVEs. Battle of\n   The Bots will give competitors of all 
 skill levels an opportunity to\n   develop proof-of-concept exploits. Netw
 ork services will be developed\n   in a variety of compiled and interprete
 d languages with varying\n   associated vulnerabilities and points. The va
 riety of languages will\n   provide opportunities for those less experienc
 ed with reverse\n   engineering to analyze vulnerable Python code to find 
 hidden API\n   endpoints that lead to shell execution for example\, rather
  than\n   reverse engineer compiled binaries.\n\n   Finally\, the BOTBs te
 am will be capturing network traffic from the\n   competition environment 
 to later be shared with the wider community.\n   The BOTBs team believes t
 hat this unique dataset of network service\n   attacks can act as a unique
  resource for academic researchers\, SOC\n   analysts assessing their defe
 nses and training events where having\n   attack data for SIEM analysis. T
 he data will be released under the\n   Apache 2.0 License and hosted publi
 cly on a yet to be determined\n   platform.\n\n   '\n\n   1. #CaesarsSummi
