LabyREnth CTF 2017: One Week Countdown

Summary: Unit 42 announced that its second LabyREnth Capture the Flag challenge launches at 4pm PST on June 9, 2017, with five tracks chosen to represent the cross-section of skills needed to be a solid security researcher. The event offers $32,000 in cash prizes for finishing challenges across the five tracks, plus individual first-to-solve prizes such as tablets and VR equipment for hidden challenges scattered throughout the CTF.

Bottom line: The skills a vendor treats as the foundation of a solid security researcher are the same ones your hiring and training programs are meant to produce, and this CTF puts a $32,000 price on demonstrating them.
