In the off-line finals, the 32 teams with the best on-line preliminary results were selected to participate, with a promotion rate of about 1%. The Sloth team was one of the participating teams, which were all top teams that have been active in various cyber security offensive and defensive events in recent years.
Four undergraduates from the School of Computer Science entered the finals with their solid foundation and rich experience in participating in the offensive and defensive melee and duel. The events cover crypt-analysis, mobile security, browser security, IoT-device security analysis, and many other emerging technology fields and frontier security hotspots. Integrating the typical network scenarios of key information infrastructure and other industry units with the competition questions, it is extremely close to the thinking of realistic network attack and defense scenarios.
