Hai thar. I Have had a pretty great weekend taking part in the It was very enjoyable and I feel we did quite well for such a small team of 4. Most of the time there was only 2 or 3 of us. Here is how we got on...
We (team404 again) were using a very nice free online project management website and were collaborating on many of the challenges. I feel the difficulty level was excellently set, giving room for people of all skill level. We finished 160th with a score of 3600. Not too bad out of 639 teams considering we weren't solely focusing on the competition and were only together online for a couple of hours over the course of the weekend. This was the qualifying round for the Defcon ctf.
I wrote a very simple Greasemonkey script a while ago that I thought I'd share. It didn't really turn out useful in the competition in the end, but I may have accidentally broke the project collaboration site...
Here is maKs_XSS_Script.user.js
Basically as you can see, all it does is insert XSS vectors into any input text box when you double click on it, I use it only because it's faster than copy and pasting or writing them out every time. I'm sure you understand how to modify this to your needs :)
One of them worked to my surprise on wedoist.com resulting in the javascript being executed when you scroll over a link in the chat box. I have reported it and it is fixed. I also learned the downside to this script today as I never turned it off and accidentally submitted a vector into a college form that was submitted. *FAIL*
I will most definitely be entering as many ctfs as I can in the future as I learned some very interesting new things and got to slightly sharpen my already learned skills with many other tools/things I don't get to use often! That's all for now!
