Rules of Engagement

By participating in the Himalayan HackRange, you agree to the following protocols.
Violations will result in immediate disqualification by the CyberSentinels.

🛡️ Fair Play & Ethics

  • No Flag Sharing: Do not share flags or solutions with other teams. Collaboration is strictly internal to your team.
  • One Account Per Person: Do not create multiple accounts to "test" flags.
  • Be Respectful: Harassment or toxic behavior in the Discord/Chat will not be tolerated.

💀 The "Do Not Hack" List

You are authorized to attack the challenge files and designated ports ONLY. The following are strictly out of bounds:

  • No DoS/DDoS: Do not attack the CTF infrastructure (Scoreboard, Azure VM, Registration page).
  • No Brute-Forcing the Flag Submission: If the flag format is HHR{...}, do not use automated tools to guess the text inside.
  • No Destructive Attacks: If you gain shell access, do not delete files or bring down the service for other players.

🏔️ Competition Format

  • Flag Format: All flags follow the format HHR{some_text_here} unless specified otherwise.
  • Scoring: Challenges use dynamic scoring. The more people solve a challenge, the fewer points it is worth.
  • Decision is Final: In case of disputes, the decision of the CyberSentinels Admin Team is final.
