Rules

1. Do not discuss answers to specific UMassCTF challenge problems with people outside of your team during the competition. Accordingly we will not tolerate begging for answers/flags in the discord server either. General discussion is allowed, particularly pertaining to sharing learning resources, but nothing challenge specific.

2. While the goal of this competition is to solve challenges and break puzzles, attacking the CTF infrastructure is strictly forbidden, and will result in an immediate ban from the competition alongside potentially further consequences.

3. In addition to these above rules, the moderation team reserves the right to remove both messages and users from the CTF that are detrimental to the discussion and community.
