CTF – The Diana Initiative 2022

After each CTF we produce for an event, everyone asks if there’s any way to keep playing. Why yes… yes there is! Live and playable CTF Archives continue to come out of the vault. This month, we feature a CTF from the 2022 version of The Diana Initiative, a conference committed to helping all those underrepresented in Information Security. The Diana Initiative 2022 CTF is a bit more extensive than some of our others offering 58 challenges with most on the easy side, several intermediate and a few “hard” flags for good measure.

JHT’s CTFs are housed in a web-based lab environment with your own, dedicated copy of Kali and the challenge server. The only difference is that there’s no time limits and no scoreboard. Learn with no pressure and at a low price point.

Feel free to write walk-throughs and share them with fellow players on your own blogs, social media or in our Discord. If you do, be sure to let us know!

Price = $20

TDI 2025

If you’re going to be in Vegas for the 2025 rendition of “Hacker Summer Camp” in August, be sure to add The Diana Initiative 2025 to your list. This year’s event is on Monday August 4, 2025 at UNLV Student Union.

What do I get?

All CTFs come with a web-based version Kali Linux for you to tackle the challenges. To make things even easier, ALL challenges are on server. No need to start a new machine for each and every challenge. It doesn’t get any easier than that to start learning.

CTFs are $20 and come with a ton of lab time. If you run out, you can always purchase more at an affordable price.
