.Deputy Director of Homeland Security, Dr. Kenneth Shoto today announces a call to cyber-ninjas everywhere to sign up for his annual fight-to-the-death qualifying competition for the Defcon Capture the Flag (CtF) contest. The qualifying competition will start at 10PM on Friday, May 30th and end at 10PM on Sunday, June 1st.
When questioned about this shocking revelation, Dr. Shoto responded palm-to-forehead, "What you say?!" He further elaborated, "The recent challenges with cyber-infrastructure and the threat of cyber-attack from cyber-terrorists plotting devious cyber-crimes has been troublesome. So let's all get together and cyber-bitchslap each other in all out cyber-warfare!"
Taking a sip from a diamond-clad goblet containing what could only be Courvoisier XO Imperial, he continued, "Let's get down to it. Crewz of any size may register, but must get it done before things get started. Top seven ninja-squads each get a table at La Fiesta Grande, a.k.a. The Hackin' Trip on the Strip, a.k.a Defcon 16 held 8/8/08 through 8/10/08 in Vegas. I'll now turn things over to my press secretary Cornelius P. Jackson to provide further details. Peace out."
Amidst a flurry of shouting questions and camera flashes, Dr. Shoto disappeared to be replaced by the figure of a swaggering gentleman wearing a leopard coat and smoking a Black-n-Mild. "Sit down y'all. I ain't triflin'. I'll slap ya so hard you'll need Facebook to remind ya who ya was! The CPJ will explain all." Crushing out his smoke on the podium as order was restored, Mr. Jackson spoke on.
"It's simple, yo. First, get ya velcros extra tight and an extra layer o' tape on da horn-rims, or whatever ya'll do to prepare for this shit. The competition itself is a quiz board with hackin' challenges e'rywhere. You pick one and hack till you gots da answer. We'll be all o'er da map like reversin' bins to land shellcode, surreptitious data thievery, even a little breakin' web shit for the kiddiez. But mostly, some real l33t shit, ya know what I'm sayin'?"
"E'ryone who thinks they good should get in on this. If ya don't win, hell, ya might learn sumthin'. And that's it! Jump into ya so-called web browser and check out kenshoto dawt com to get the sheezy all regeezy."
He dropped the mic and walked out.
