About DEADFACE CTF

DEADFACE CTF is not your average hacking competition; it is a story-driven competition that draws over 2,500 participants from across the globe. Engaging in a series of challenges spanning cryptography, exploitation, forensics, reverse engineering, and more, players will navigate a thrilling journey that tests their mettle in a wide variety of disciplines.

Stepping into the shoes of Turbo Tactical, participants assume the role of investigators, counter-attack specialists, and offensive campaigners. Armed with technical expertise and strategic acumen, they investigate DEADFACE's activities, identify vulnerabilities, and launch attacks against their infrastructure. Moreover, Turbo Tactical's mission is to safeguard against DEADFACE's tactics and thwart their sinister plots.

Who is DEADFACE?

DEADFACE is a fictional threat actor group, created solely for the context of the DEADFACE CTF competition. In the context of the competition, DEADFACE serves as the simulated adversary that participants investigate and conduct offensive tactics against. It is important to emphasize that DEADFACE is entirely fictional and not based on any real-world threat actor group. The creation of DEADFACE as a fictional entity allows participants to engage in a challenging and dynamic cybersecurity competition while enhancing their skills and knowledge in a safe and controlled environment.

DEADFACE is a notorious hacker group that increases its activity, particularly in October. They're all about theatrics and inciting fear. They employ a variety of different hackers, each with their own unique skill sets. One of the calling cards of DEADFACE is that they use retro-themed or Halloween-themed naming conventions for their attacks and artifacts left on their victims' machines.
