Making It: 1st Annual DISC Capture the Flag Event
Summary: Dragos held its first DISC Capture the Flag event ahead of its annual Industrial Security Conference, running from 12 pm ET on November 2 to 12 pm ET on November 4, 2021. Nearly 300 players on 191 teams from 28 countries registered, 7 teams completed every challenge, and the total points available were 2540. The challenges covered PLC issues run as OpenPLC Docker containers, industrial protocol packet capture analysis, and flags hidden in memory dumps from the Dragos brewery range at its Maryland headquarters.
What's compelling: The challenges were drawn from Dragos threat hunting playbooks and professional services engagements, so the skills tested mirror real ICS incident work - and only 7 of 191 teams finished all of them, a completion rate worth weighing against your own team's OT readiness.
