By playing I-Hack 2026 you accept these rules.
Violations can mean score wipe, team ban, or removal.


01  STAY ON THE BATTLEFIELD
    Attack only the challenge targets provided by the organizers.
    Do not scan, probe, or exploit the CTF platform, scoreboard,
    other teams, or any system that is not an official challenge
    instance.

02  NO DENIAL OF SERVICE
    Do not flood, crash, or degrade shared infrastructure.
    Excessive automated traffic, brute-force flag spam, and
    resource exhaustion against the platform or challenges
    are forbidden.

03  FLAGS ARE CLASSIFIED
    Do not share flags, writeups during the event, or solutions
    with other teams. Collaboration is allowed only within your
    own registered team. Trading or selling flags is banned.

04  ONE FIGHTER IDENTITY
    Use only your registered account and team. Multiple accounts,
    account sharing across teams, or pretending to be another
    participant is not allowed.

05  KEEP IT LEGAL
    Do not break local laws. Social engineering of organizers,
    phishing other players, or attacking systems outside the
    contest scope is prohibited and may be reported.

06  RESPECT THE ARENA
    No harassment, hate speech, or toxic conduct in chat,
    writeups, team names, or public channels. Treat other
    players and staff with respect.

07  REPORT PLATFORM BUGS
    If you find a bug in the CTF platform itself (scoring, auth,
    isolation), report it privately to the organizers. Do not
    use platform bugs for an unfair advantage.

08  ORGANIZER CALLS ARE FINAL
    Staff may adjust scores, remove solves, disqualify teams,
    or change challenge availability to keep the tournament fair.
    Their decisions during the event are final.

09  NO AI AGENTS OR AUTO-SOLVERS
    Autonomous CTF agents, MCP toolchains, and bulk automation
    against the platform or challenges are banned. Detection can
    mean immediate team disqualification without warning.

10  FLAG FORMAT
    Unless a challenge says otherwise, submit flags exactly as
    found. Do not invent formats. Wrong flags waste attempts.

11  HINTS & ATTEMPTS
    Hints (if any) may cost points. Attempt limits may apply.
    Rate-limits are intentional — do not try to bypass them.

12  FAIR PLAY CHECKLIST
    [ ] Only attack official challenge targets
    [ ] No flag sharing outside your team
    [ ] No infrastructure abuse / DoS
    [ ] One account · one team
    [ ] Report platform bugs privately
    [ ] Respect players and staff


Fight hard — fight clean.
