This year's edition of HackNijmegen, now called NYMACON, will be on Friday 8 November from 9:00 until 17:00 in Waalhalla at the Winselingseweg 12 in Nijmegen. It is a CTF organised by the municipality of Nijmegen, the regional IT collaborator ICT Rijk van Nijmegen (iRvN), the cybersecurity company Hunt & Hackett and Radboud University.
This year's edition will in part be more like a traditional CTF where you can score points in teams. In addition to a traditional web environment there will also be IoT devices to hack and there will be a workstation for doing password cracking. More info below. Security experts of Hunt & Hackett be around, as well employees of the CSIRT team of ICT Rijk van Nijmegen. Hunt & Hackett will be monitoring the IT environment with the SOC, maybe improving the SOC rules for better detection, and can also show what the SOC can see of your attacks.
