From August 18 to 24, the Starpwn CTF took place during DEFCON 34. This challenge is an Aerospace Village<\/strong><\/a> project led by a set of volunteers. The challenge was notably developed by VisionSpace<\/strong><\/a>, with the support of The Aerospace Corporation<\/strong><\/a>, EthosLab, Final Frontier Security<\/strong><\/a>, CTFd, SIXGEN<\/strong><\/a>, and Cal Poly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83e\udde9 31 challenges had to be solved in GlitterCity, covering 8 different areas of expertise:
\ud83d\udce1 Communications & RF
\ud83d\udd0e Forensics
\ud83d\udef0\ufe0f Ground Operations
\ud83c\udfaf Manhunt
\ud83e\udde9 Miscellaneous

\ud83d\ude80 Space Operations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

27 challenges could be completed remotely, while 4 were onsite-only. More than 1,000 different teams from all over the world connected for this challenge. \ud83c\udf0d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From investigating spacecraft packets in PCAP format, demodulating FSK signals, spoofing a GPS signal, calculating a Hohmann transfer, or crafting a malicious golden image after gaining access to a ground station, the CTF covered a wide range of space infrastructure and cybersecurity topics.
Reading Aurebesh (the Star Wars alphabet) or having in mind The Hitchhiker\u2019s Guide to the Galaxy was obviously a must. \ud83d\ude0a
\ud83d\udc4f Congratulations to VisionSpace<\/strong><\/a> and all organizers for making such incredible event!
\ud83d\ude80 CyberInflight is already planning to participate with a bigger team next year.
