DESCRIPTION:   'Title: Battle of The Bots\n   When: Saturday\, Aug 12\, 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 tradition
 al\n   “King-of-The-Hill” style Capture the Flag events by incorporati
 ng\n   exploit development\, vulnerability analysis\, reverse engineering 
 and\n   software development in the form of developing computer worms aka\
 n   “bots”. BOTBs requires competitors to develop proof-of-concept\n  
  exploits 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   
 autonomously. Services that are harder to exploit (ex: requiring\n   memor
 y corruption exploits opposed to misconfigured databases) will\n   result 
 in a higher point score for the competitor.\n\n   The vulnerable network s
 ervices will include real world vulnerable\n   services where a competitor
  can adopt off the shelf proof-of-concepts\n   vulnerabilities from an off
 ensive security resource (ex: Metasploit\n   Framework\, exploit-db\, pack
 etstorm\, etc…) into their bot to achieve\n   access to said vulnerable 
 services. Additionally\, custom built\n   vulnerable services informed by 
 OWASP Top 10 security bugs as well as\n   CVEs will influence challenge de
 velopment resulting in a competitor to\n   have the experience of reverse 
 engineering new applications to\n   identify vulnerabilities based on hist
 orically significant pain points\n   in Software Engineering as well as in
 famous historical CVEs. Battle of\n   The Bots will give competitors of al
 l skill levels an opportunity to\n   develop proof-of-concept exploits. Ne
 twork services will be developed\n   in a variety of compiled and interpre
 ted languages with varying\n   associated vulnerabilities and points. The 
 variety of languages will\n   provide opportunities for those less experie
 nced with reverse\n   engineering to analyze vulnerable Python code to fin
 d hidden API\n   endpoints that lead to shell execution for example\, rath
 er than\n   reverse engineer compiled binaries.\n\n   Finally\, the BOTBs 
 team will be capturing network traffic from the\n   competition environmen
 t to later be shared with the wider community.\n   The BOTBs team believes
  that this unique dataset of network service\n   attacks can act as a uniq
 ue resource for academic researchers\, SOC\n   analysts assessing their de
 fenses and training events where having\n   attack data for SIEM analysis.
  The data will be released under the\n   Apache 2.0 License and hosted pub
 licly on a yet to be determined\n   platform.\n\n   '\n\n   1. #CaesarsSum
