It is the first time for ShanghaiTech University students to participate in this game. In the online part, 2016 undergraduate student Qin Qi performed excellently and became the fourth place out of thousands of participants, and therefore honorably won the ticket to the offline AWD (Attack With Defence) part for the school. Thereafter, our team, consisting of 2015 undergraduates Zhao Xiting and Cao Lingyun and 2016 undergraduate Jing Yuzhuo, performed well among the whole 20 groups and achieved the third prize. Various types of tasks like reverse, web, pwn, mobile, were included in this contest, basing on theoretical knowledge while also providing players with a fair platform for defending and attacking. In this competition, students can apply their knowledge into real-day practice and experience the charm of CTF (Capture The Flag) games.
