Capturing the flag at NXTWORK 2019

Capture the Flag competitions are an increasingly popular and valuable way for both cyber security students and seasoned professionals to test their skills, stay sharp and maybe even put a bit swagger on display. We set out to capture the excitement of a capture the flag event. As luck would have it, our sponsors at Juniper Networks were hosting a capture the flag hackathon at their annual NXTWork conference in Las Vegas, and they invited our CyberWire team to join them to experience it for ourselves.
