DEFCON 24: Wi-Fi Sheep Hunt Contest Brief

WI-FI SHEEP HUNT 2016
Wall of Sheep (WOS)
Packet Hacking Village (PHV)

MISSION BRIEF:

WELCOME to WI-FI SHEEP HUNT 2016. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to hunt and herd our lost SHEEPS. Clues will be broadcasted in the PHV airwaves – near, far and wide. You’ll need your strongest and fastest wireless “Kung-Fu” to collect the clues and decipher the codes. Accumulate points by playing one or all the challenges.

1:\> NFC SHEEP HUNT
2:\> RF SHEEP HUNT
3:\> WEP/WPA SHEEP HUNT


WARNING: If the “airwaves” smell rotten, that’s probably not us. This is DEF CON, don’t say we didn’t warn you...

REGISTRATION:

1. In person at PHV Info Booth.
2. Online at https://t.co/WFI9TLVt4j - CLOSED 08/06/2016

MISSION DETAILS:

1. NFC SHEEP HUNT: There are NFC tags hidden all around the PHV. Use your handheld device (iPhone, Android…etc.) to sniff them out, retrieve and decipher the codes. Points are awarded for every tag you find, extra points for every code you decipher.

2. RF SHEEP HUNT: Locate RF beacons, then decipher the codes to earn points.  We have military grade radio detection gear for you to use. Registration and gear reservation is required. Go to the PHV Info Booth for details.

1. WEP/WPA SHEEP HUNT: Find the correct WEP/WPA APs and crack the key. Every key (WEP/WPA) you crack & submit earns you points.

WEP? really?! But how strong is your wireless kung-fu?! These APs are dynamic and can change its security settings. Move fast when you spot them ---> crack the key and grab a sheep before it disappears.  NOTE: Point value decreases the longer you take to crack it.

EXTRA POINTS: Grab SHEEPS (files) from WEP, move them to the WPA.  Once you’re inside the network, sniff around and hunt for SHEEPS (files)… yes, you’ll need both keys to move the files from one wireless network to the other.
