Softrams Hackathon 2024
Welcome to the Softrams Hackathon! The hackathon will be a Capture-The-Flag style event where you will have the opportunity to learn, experiment, and actually hack a vulnerable web application! The event will be utilizing a popular intentionally vulnerable web application called the OWASP Juice Shop. The event will consist of a series of challenges to complete in any order you choose with the goal being to “capture the flag.” Challenges will give a flag to the user. Once a challenge is completed, points will be given based on the difficulty associated with each challenge. The goal of this challenge is to learn, understand, and challenge employees about web application security in a fun and exciting way.

Hackathon Setup Instructions & Guide
Where to Start?
Once you have completed the prerequisites and have everything up and running head over to the challenges page to look at the list of available challenges. Your goal is to solve as many challenges as you can and achieve the top score! Challenge points are associated with the difficulty of the challenge. It is recommended to begin with the lower scoring challenges if you are new to web hacking. Challenges will have hints associated with them to help you along the way. Happy hacking!
Depending on your experience level, you may be able to jump right in and begin testing for different vulnerabilities and discover challenge flags. If this is a new concept, we have provided some resources to assist you in your efforts. Challenge solutions are available, but please refrain from using the solutions unless you are completely stuck or are not familiar with the concept at all. Doing your own research is key to learning the tools, tactics, and techniques associated with the challenges.
