Good catch. Mostly I'm just bad at reading calendars :).

Not actually what we're going for :).

Yes, that's for all engineering positions. We've been so busy building CTF we haven't had time to maintain the jobs page :).

by gdb 13y ago
Yep, we ran everything on AWS, which was nice since we could directly use a lot of the management infrastructure we've built for Stripe.

:) Even though it was just up for a week, people's Git commit histories show there were 20,000+ hours (2.3 programmer-years) spent playing CTF. So it was worth the time investment!

This is good feedback. Honest feedback like this helps us really understand how successful we're being with CTF. One of our design goals was to make it hard to have something that worked locally but not remotely. It seems like we didn&

You're very welcome. Glad you enjoyed :).

Very fair feedback on moving the deadline. We'd debated doing it or not, and ended up moving it in the spirit of distributed systems education. A lot of people in the chat appreciated it, but that's obviously a selected segment. S

You'll be stuck with the test harness for the foreseeable future, unfortunately. Releasing the submission infrastructure in a usable form would unfortunately be a looot of work. We're working on open-sourcing a lot of the dependen

I have a post on the CTF infrastructure that I'm working on; should be out in the next few days hopefully. Looks like the original level sources have been published, though perhaps we'll do something official as well.

One libboost-dev coming right up :).
257.
by gdb 13y ago
Yep, that happens if you try pushing from multiple clients at once (in order to prevent people from spamming us with solutions). If you're still getting that even after a few minutes, ping us at ctf@stripe.com and see what's going

by gdb 13y ago
(Has now been fixed for a few minutes.)

by gdb 13y ago
We're on it! Will be fixed shortly.

by gdb 13y ago
As a note, if you send us requests for Ubuntu packages, we'll happily install them — just send an email to ctf@stripe.com.

by gdb 13y ago
Not sure yet! We'd love to package it up nicely for people to run, but I can't make any promises about when we'll have a chance to do so. Note that it should be pretty easy for us to just distribute the source code for each l

by gdb 13y ago
There's a lot more to it than that, actually. (We'll talk about it more once the contest is over.)
263.
by gdb 13y ago
Sorry, should be fixed now! Turns out lots of people want to score their solutions :).
264.
by gdb 13y ago
Yep — it's a lot of work for us to keep these running. (See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7074064 for a blow-by-blow account of previous CTFs.)

by gdb 13y ago
Sorry about that -- should be fixed.

Yep: https://stripe.com/blog/capture-the-flag-wrap-up . I also recently learned that someone packaged our second CTF: https://github.com/e28eta/stripe-ctf-2.0 Enjoy!
267.
by gdb 13y ago
Yep, pretty much :). Also, fun fact: Nelson was our test solver for CTF2. He also ripped through all the levels there in a few hours. But then he got to level8 (PasswordDB, which was source port counting), and was stumped for a few days. He

This looks cool! > I've never understood why awesome CTF events are so eager to shut down. We actually were planning to leave the first Stripe CTF up indefinitely. We'd mostly just built it as a side project, and hadn't re

by gdb 13y ago
Cool, it'll be a good learning experience. The ones I mention in the blog post are a good start — revealing more than that would be telling, though!

by gdb 13y ago
Nope, none planned. (We don't have any engineers based there.) I'd be open to a community-organized event if someone's excited about hosting though — ping me at gdb@stripe.com.
