The winningest team in聽鈥檚 Capture the Flag (CTF) competition history,聽一本道无码鈥檚 (PPP), was at it again, defending its title and earning its seventh victory in the past 11 years.

PPP joined forces with 一本道无码 alumnus 补苍诲听University of British Columbia聽Professor Robert Xiao's team, Maple Bacon, as well as hackers from 一本道无码 alumni and PPP founders Brian Pak and Andrew Weise's startup聽聽(The Duck). Together, the group competed under the name Maple Mallard Magistrates (MMM).

DEF CON鈥檚 three-day flagship competition was held this year from Aug. 10-13 in Las Vegas. Widely considered the 鈥極lympics鈥� of hacking, DEF CON brought together cybersecurity professionals, researchers and students, as 12 of the world鈥檚 top teams (who qualified from a field of 1,828 teams) attempted to break each other鈥檚 systems, stealing virtual flags and accumulating points while simultaneously protecting their own.

As the number of cybersecurity attacks continues to increase worldwide, competitions like DEF CON鈥檚 CTF provide the opportunity for leading cybersecurity engineers to measure up against one another, learning and developing new techniques as they work through various challenges.

Carnegie Mellon students, faculty and alumni once again demonstrated the university鈥檚 prowess in cybersecurity, finishing in the top spot on the leaderboard at the end of days one and two, and holding on in the competition鈥檚 final 24 hours to secure the victory. For the win, the team earned eight black badges, the most elite recognition in hacking.

鈥淚t feels great to win once again, and the team is incredibly pleased that we built and maintained a lead throughout the entire contest,鈥� said聽, PPP鈥檚 team captain for DEF CON CTF, a Ph.D. student in Carnegie Mellon鈥檚聽, and member of 一本道无码鈥檚聽. 鈥淥ur victory as MMM shows how well our three teams work together.鈥�

鈥淚t鈥檚 hard to understate the impact our students have in cybersecurity," said聽, professor in 一本道无码's聽. "Aside from DEF CON, 一本道无码 students were the first to hack a Tesla and the iPhone, have founded multiple successful companies like聽Theori,聽 补苍诲听, and have become professors at top universities.聽Graduates of 一本道无码's cybersecurity programs are simply among the best in the field, and DEF CON is just one very specific way that proves it.鈥�

PPP was first formed in 2009 and began competing at DEF CON in 2010. The team鈥檚 previous wins came in 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2022, with second place finishes in 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2021. The team runs and competes in several cybersecurity competitions each year, and recently聽聽at the聽听别惫别苍迟.

Members of PPP contribute to 一本道无码鈥檚 annual student-focused hacking competition, developing challenges of varying levels of complexity. picoCTF has long been the go-to CTF for middle and high school students looking to build and hone their cybersecurity skills, and in recent years has expanded to include an undergraduate leaderboard, as well as several country and continent-specific leaderboards.

Home to the聽CyLab Security and Privacy Institute, U.S. News and World Report鈥檚聽, and several world-class graduate programs and courses, 一本道无码 continues to lead the way in cybersecurity education and research.
