goal, i.e. to find the hidden flag. Submission of flags gives varying points
to the team according to the difficulty of the challenge. The team with
more points within a shorter time will be the winner.
IIT Goa’s Pandora’s Box CTF is going to be a Jeopardy style CTF involving
categories like Web, Cryptography, OSINT, Steganography, etc.
The general format for flag submission is PBCTF{}. Whatever you are
getting as flags from the challenges, you have to submit by enclosing that
inside the braces of PBCTF{}. If there is any change in the flag submission
format for any specific challenge, that will be mentioned in that particular
challenge’s description.
eg: In general, if you get the flag as “h3ll0_w0rld!”,
you have to submit it as PBCTF{h3ll0_w0rld!}.

workshops
Fiducia
Workshop description -
Due to their large and complex attack surface and the difficulty in
ensuring they are secure, web applications continue to be a prime target
in attacks. All it takes is a flaw in the application
itself, its framework, the web server or proxy server configuration, or even
some third-party component (e.g. a JavaScript library that is embedded
on each web page) to lead to a full compromise of a host or network.
In this session, we will talk both generally about the trends in web
application security and look at specific examples of how key
vulnerabilities arise (e.g. discussing how, tainted user input can reach
dangerous functions within some layer of the system), paying particular
attention to those more subtle cases that usually go under the radar, such
as within HTML5 applications. The webinar will also explore hacking
scenarios based on real-world examples.
