+The University of Alabama Capture the Flag Competition 2021 (UACTF) is sponsored by
+the University of Alabama’s Computer Science Department, Regions, Crimson Defense
+Cyber Security Club, and the Digital Forensics and Control Systems Security Lab. UACTF
+2021 will be a Jeopardy-style Capture the Flag Competition. There will be several
+categories to choose from with each category including easy, medium, and difficult
+challenges worth a varying amount of points. Clues will be available to help teams with
+solving the challenges, but these clues will cost the team points. The teams’ objective is
+to solve the challenges to score as many points as possible.
+Although UACTF is in the style of a competition, this is a fun educational exercise. There
+are opportunities for students at all skill levels. Through UACTF, students will be provided
+with opportunities to collaborate, learn, and be exposed to a different way of thinking
+about cyber security. This will include thinking about possible careers in the cyber
+security field.
+The material in this guide has been collected from several sources across the Internet.
+This guide will provide teams with a common starting point for preparing for UACTF and
+is not all inclusive of the challenges involved in UACTF. UACTF is not a hacking contest.
+Think of UACTF as more of a puzzle solving challenge with a cyber security theme.
+Below is a list of topics that might be seen during UACTF. This should not be considered
+a comprehensive list of the types of challenges that will be seen during the competition.
