Announcing the Fifth Annual Flare-On Challenge>
FireEye Blog – Nick Harbour
The FireEye Labs Advanced Reverse Engineering (FLARE) teamâs annual reverse engineering challenge will start at 8:00 p.m. ET on Aug. 24, 2018. This is a CTF-style challenge for all active and aspiring reverse engineers, malware analysts, and security professionals. So dust off your disassembler, put a new coat of oil on your old debugger, and get your favorite chat client ready to futilely beg your friends for help. Once again, this contest is designed for individuals, not teams, and it is a single track of challenges. The contest runs for six full weeks and ends at 8:00 p.m. ET on Oct. 5, 2018. This yearâs contest will once again host a total of 12 challenges covering architectures from x86, x64 on Windows, Java, .NET, Webassembly, and Linux, with special appearances of Bootloaders and Bootkits. This is one of the only Windows-centric CTF challenges out there and we have crafted it to represent the skills and challenges of our workload on the FLARE team.
