(2024) - Closing & prize ceremonies
Security researchers examine technical aspects of (2024) - Closing & prize ceremonies.
Summary
Overview: CrikeyCon IX closing ceremony covers lockpicking competition results, CTF standings with 174 registered users and 85 teams, and volunteer recognition.
Key Topics: Lockpicking competition with Lego-based challenges; CTF with most challenges solved except lockpicking and ninja levels; trophy presentations; and volunteer team acknowledgments.
Technical Details: The CTF ran all day with 174 registered users across 85 teams. Only two challenges remained unsolved: lockpicking level 3 and a ninja level 4 challenge. Organizers humorously credit themselves for docker-compose up while volunteers did the real work.
Takeaways: Conference competitions build community engagement beyond talks. CTF design balancing accessibility with challenge ensures broad participation.
