DESCRIPTION:   'Title: Embedded CTF\n   When: Saturday\, Aug 10\, 10:00 - 1

 ription:\n\n   Embedded systems are everywhere in our daily lives\, from t
 he smart\n   devices in our homes to the systems that control critical\n  
  infrastructure. These systems exist at the intersection of hardware\n   a
 nd software\, built to accomplish a specific task. However\, unlike\n   ge
 neral-purpose computers\, embedded systems are typically designed for\n   
 a particular case of use and have limited resources. This makes them\n   b
 oth challenging and fascinating to work with\, especially from a\n   secur
 ity perspective. Often these disciplines are dealt with\n   individually\,
  but understanding the custom relationships between\n   hardware and softw
 are is vital to performing security research on\n   these devices.\n\n   T
 he embedded device CTF contest is an exciting opportunity to explore\n   t
 he intricacies of these systems and test your skills in a competitive\n   
 environment. Contestants are challenged to find vulnerabilities in the\n  
  firmware or hardware and exploit them to gain access or control over\n   
 the device. The contest offers a unique opportunity to explore\n   embedde
 d devices' inner workings and understand their design's\n   security impli
 cations.\n\n   New devices will be dramatically introduced at set interval
 s\n   throughout the competition\, and point values will decrease over tim
 e.\n   This keeps contestants guessing and on their toes\, forcing them to
 \n   adapt and use their skills to tackle new challenges. It also offers a
 \n   chance to learn about different types of devices and how they\n   fun
 ction\, broadening participants' knowledge and experience.\n\n   By partic
 ipating in the contest\, contestants can develop a deep\n   understanding 
 of how these systems operate and how to secure them\n   against potential 
 attacks. Additionally\, the contest encourages\n   participants to think o
 utside the box and approach problems\n   creatively\, honing their problem
 -solving skills. The competition\n   provides a valuable opportunity to ne
 twork with like-minded\n   individuals and a chance to learn from others i
 n the field hands-on.\n\n   Overall\, the embedded device CTF contest is a
 n exciting and\n   educational experience that showcases the unique challe
 nges and\n   rewards of working with embedded devices. With the rise of th
 e\n   Internet of Things and the increasing integration of technology in o
 ur\n   daily lives\, embedded devices are becoming more ubiquitous\, makin
 g\n   this contest relevant and worth checking out. Whether you're a\n   s
 easoned security professional or just starting in the field\, the\n   cont
 est offers a chance to learn\, test your skills\, and have fun in a\n   dy
 namic and competitive environment.\n\n   This is the main event at Embedde
 d Systems Village. Come and show off\n   your skills at hacking our collec
 tion of vulnerable embedded devices\n   and find flags to score points! Ne
 w this year we have a 101 track\n   where each team will have their own se
 t of emulated devices\, as well\n   as embedded challenges from the MITRE 
 eCTF and some boss-level\n   embedded challenges from Toyota Tsusho System
