Below lie the rules regarding EasyCTF. These rules have been specifically formulated in order to preserve the integrity of the competition for every participant. These rules exist only serve as a auxillary to your own common sense. One of EasyCTF's core goals is to gauge your team's understanding of the relevant computer science principles. If we wanted to measure the magnitude of your teacher's knowledge of computer science, we would attend a local CSTA meeting. Due to the nature of the competition's content, the whole of the world wide web is free game. Do not, however, use forums or other services in which the problem is forwarded to unregistered member of EasyCTF. Sharing flags is obviously against rules, and will not be permitted. Do not confuse EasyCTF with an attack-defense CTF platform; if you attack either the EasyCTF infrastructure or another team, you will be subject to complete team explusion, as well as the possibility of legal pursuance. All decisions made by an administrator from the EasyCTF Team are final. Below lie the rules regarding EasyCTF.

<h2 class="heading2">Flag Format</h2> <h2 class="heading2">Flag Format</h2>
<p class="paragraph">Unless otherwise stated, the flags that you will find will be in the format: <p class="paragraph">
<code>easyctf{example_flag}</code>. Flags will not be case sensative. Although the only part of the flag that should be submitted is the content within the curly braces, flags including 'EasyCTF', and the sorrounding brackets will not be sufficient cause for invalidation. Similar to previous years, our flags will be formatted like so:
<code>EasyCTF{example_flag}</code>. Although our magical judge programs are expecting only the text in between the curly braces (
<code>example_flag</code>), EasyCTF will ignore the
<code>EasyCTF{}</code> and mark your submission correct or incorrect. Rapid, repeated guesses (brute forcing) will serve as sufficient grounds for team penalization. As forementioned, sharing of flags outside members of your own team can, and will have
severe penalties or explusion from the CTF competition. Finally, creating writeups for your solved problems is highly encouraged. However, for the integrity of the competition, writeups may not be posted before the end of the competition. After
the competition has successfuly ended, the EasyCTF team will post writeups for all of the problems.
