CMIYC ( https://t.co/JeF6ysFDHI) will not make it to DEF CON this year. https://t.co/GGsFUSgSnm will be there! We intend to do a contest later this year.

We just dropped a couple inter-related advisories for VICIdial, open-source software used by call centers: https://t.co/sHS1R3KfLp and https://t.co/B9sd0lAssl Add some broth, a potato; baby you've got a stew going.

We posted a bunch of details about password sets, encrypted challenge/hint files, etc.: https://t.co/uiSmQBHdB9 #defcon32

CMIYC 2023 coming soon to DEF CON and an Internet near you! https://t.co/60AtF8E8a0 In the next couple weeks we'll open preregistration and release test hashes that are equal parts hint and misdirection.

Unofficial post-contest discussion spot (not created by us):

Street results are official: Goolickers 1st; Crevasse, VivaLaFaRT and StrongWind suuuper close 2nd, 3rd, 4th.

I think the possible Street undercount was a false positive. Teams either submitted both a garbled and correct version of a given crack (so got credit, but also an error), or only a garbled version, gigo.

Pro results are official: hashcat 1st, Cynosure Prime close 2nd, https://t.co/rKLtzlXd4j Users - Pro close 3rd. There's a slight undercount for some Street hashes, where 1-4 place are all very close, so might make a difference, stay tuned.

Hand-checking a few 'invalid' hashes in recent submissions before making the results official.

Contest submissions are closed!

Just under one hour left in the contest! Very close for both Pro and Street; some hash-sets have been 100%'ed. In the unlikely event of a tie, first team to submit their last cracks wins.

Should be fixed now; Street teams please resubmit your mssql05 cracks if you think we undercounted. No other hash type for either class seems to be affected by this.

Street teams: Tracking down an issue that caused 169 out of 10812 mssql05 hashes to not give credit when cracked.

Teams: More hashes posted! Maybe the last new set for this contest. Just over 17h left. https://t.co/tsf4JSE9Mo #DEFCON #DEFCON30 #Defcon2022
