Preparing for a TraceLabs OSINT CTF
Are you a first time participant?
Trace Labs
Trace Labs is a Not-For-Profit organization with a mission to crowdsource the collection of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) to generate new leads on missing person cases.
Trace Labs fundamental goal is to provide open-source intelligence (OSINT) to law enforcement, gathered at regular OSINT operations and via non-theoretical CTF (Capture the Flag) events.
Getting Started
Got the ticket, and accessed the Slack or Discord Channel, the event is approaching. Now what?
Prior to the event, it is important to understand the scope, the do’s and do not’s, and the scoring system; all of which can be found on the Contestant Guide. Moreover, if you are a first-time contestant, it is advised for you to also watch the Training Playlist which will provide further guidance on Trace Labs and the CTF Event. However, there is a little more prep to be done than that for this or any other OSINT event you might want to participate in.
