Hack Miami will be running the "Samurai CTF" at this years Hack the
Flag. This is a brand new aspect to the SFISSA's HTF event. This
contest is intended for those that are either complete newbies or have
a moderate level of experience, but aren't quite ready for the
bloodshed of the Ninja CTF.

The word samurai is somewhat analogous to European knight: they were
considered nobility, worked for noble higher-ups, and were renowned
for their great bravery and code of honor. Ninja, on the other hand,
were well-disguised mercenary assassins governed by no code save
secrecy.

One of the benefits of this contest is that you will be using a
bootable "live CD". What this means to you, is that aside from having
all the great tools that you need for the contest, you most likely not
have to worry about your computer being hacked while it is running the
Samurai live CD. All you will need to do is put the Samurai live CD
into your CDROM drive and power up!

This contest is focused on web hacking, something that is a very hot
topic in infosec today. While this competition is intended to be a
friendly contest, it is also going to be an educational experience.
Guidance will be provided by the members of Hack Miami. So, if you get
stuck, there is a helping hand nearby.
