Challenges, Competitions, and Prizes

Here are details of some challenges you will see at BSides Manchester 2018

SNASM is a web based game over WiFi where players create warrior in a bespoke assembly language similar to Intel flavored x86. The game is a "competitive" tron or worm based game where the winner is the player with the worm that claims the most tiles. A more complete description of the game, rules and SNASM language can be found in the documentation.

A tournament will be held at 3pm and the top two winning worm creators will receive a prize:

First place: Amazon Echo Spot (Black)

Second place: Amazon Fire Stick (Black)

To help get people started, please visit the Nettitude stand or watch out for tweets from @Nettitude_Labs

Can you get to Arcturus?
Your ship has come under alien attack and has crash landed in enemy territory; your only hope to survive is to rebuild your ship and make it home to Arcturus.

How to play:
Your ships components have been flung far and wide across this venue and have taken shape in the form of QR codes. Find as many as you can to get your ship back up and running.

Scan your first code to register your game account and start building your ship.
Each QR code is different, the more you scan the more components you'll collect.
Each component equals an entry into the prize draw, the more components you have the more chance you have of winning some swag.

Prize winners will be announced on Twitter at the end of the day. Don't forget to follow us @ArcturusSec.

Prizes:

LEGONASA Apollo Saturn V
Star Wars Drone (T-65 X-Wing Fighter)
Star Wars Drone (Tie Advanced X1)
Star Wars Drone (74-Z Speeder Bike)
