Please read the following rules and abide by them to avoid the ban stick:

1. The scoreboard system (this server and web site) is off limits for attack, there are no secret flags or anything, all flags are in the downloadable VM challenges;

2. If you find a fault with a level (such as a lab not working as intended), please contact an admin here: administrator@acceleratorscheme.com;

3. To be considered for a place on the Accelerator scheme, obtain at least 16 flags and register your interest through the 'Apply Here' button;

4. All VM based challenges can be done locally (encryption password is 'password' boot password if required is 'password'), on your own machine;

5. If you don't have a license or free trial for a compatible Virtual Machine hosting application, we are unable to assist;

6. VM based challenges require a write-up (just a brief description of your thought process and steps taken towards achieving that specific flag). You can also submit write-ups even though you didn't get the flag, we appreciate the journey you took, not only arriving at the destination;

7. Flags submitted without a write-up will result in points deducted for the corresponding challenge;

8. Any way of obtaining the flags is valid, however the purpose of this CTF system is to demonstrate your skillset. Mounting the VMs drives or modifying the booting system will get you the points but it is unlikely to get you noticed for candidate selection;

9. You have 30 days to complete the CTF and apply to SuccessFactors. After this period, if there has been no submission your application will be cancelled.

10. Don't forget to have fun! :)



For example write ups see:
<a href="https://nettitude.ctf.acceleratorscheme.com/examples/example-1.txt">https://nettitude.ctf.acceleratorscheme.com/examples/example-1.txt</a> - probably too much detail, but fine and candidate hired
<a href="https://nettitude.ctf.acceleratorscheme.com/examples/example-2.txt">https://nettitude.ctf.acceleratorscheme.com/examples/example-2.txt</a> - shows thought proccess with less detail, also fine and candidate hired
<a href="https://nettitude.ctf.acceleratorscheme.com/examples/example-3.txt">https://nettitude.ctf.acceleratorscheme.com/examples/example-3.txt</a> - cheated, candidate was not contacted
