During the DefCon finals we were visited by @MadsLorenzorro who wrote an article (in Danish) about the event:

Playing #CTF is fun. Playing #CTF together is amazing! A huge thanks to 3 of our sponsors: Direc, Digit, and the Computer Science department at Aarhus university for supporting with travel, infrastructure and swag. Links to them can be found on our site: https://t.co/qCls4FhYkQ

While we wait for the final skirmish of the DefCon #CTF we would like to thank another of our sponsors: SDNit, https://t.co/Kd2CWGjnAw, thanks a lot for supporting the Scandinavian security community!

Feeding an army of vikings is tough work and it would not be possible without our amazing sponsors. First out we would like to extend a big thanks to https://t.co/n3LeOemUzJ for supporting the Scandinavian #CTF community!

With 1 hour remaining to the battle, the warriors are sharpening their rev tools and firing up their sploits. The attack will be two-pronged with a main force from Copenhagen and a smaller detachment from Oslo led by our fearsome captains Killerdog and Julle. A big thanks to them

With the plague still ravaging the lands, the warriors of the north are converging on our battle fortress in Copenhagen where we will conduct a remote attack against the diabolical @oooverflow and the other combatants of the DefCon #CTF

My write-up of the @oooverflow DEFCON 29 CTF qualifier 3factooorx challenge. Not a lot to it, but it shows a little bit of how you can navigate obfuscated JavaScript with Chrome dev tools. https://t.co/Xq6PPIf5rF @NorseCodeCTF @HackingForSoju

It was in the darkest hour and everything seemed desperate. The warriors of the north were on the verge of defeat. Hope was all but lost. They let out a mighty battle cry for a final charge and as if guided by Odin himself, seized not one, but two flags to triumph in the battle!

In less than one hour the battle begins. The vikings of the north have mustered an army of fierce warriors and are prepared to fight. The enemies are numerous and the perils grave. Will they be able to overcome the devious traps laid out by the diabolical Order?

As spring arrives and another campaign against the diabolical Order of the Overflow draws closer the vikings of the north once again sharpen their axes. After a fierce #CTF skirmish all but the most fearsome opponents were vanquished but will this suffice in the coming battles?

Exciting news! We will join @NorseCodeCTF on the quest to raid DEF CON CTF in 2021!

The battle has been long and hard but it is finally over. The vikings of the north fought valiantly and defended their honour by finishing in the top 10 in the Defcon 28 #CTF. Now we feast in valhalla (after sleeping for a day or so)!

The longboat has room for plenty of warriors. A huge thanks to our sponsor FRA for providing us with a venue. Check their challenges or even job postings at: https://t.co/iwDBrxyAsR (SWE)

Today a longboat arrived carrying a shipment of armor to the mighty warriors of the north. With less than a week until the battle the final preparations are in full swing.

As the battle against the evil forces of the Order draws closer, the warriors of the north go out on one final scouting raid in the @enoflag #enowars4 #CTF to hone their skills and make sure the weapons and armor are in perfect condition. Now less than a month remain.

Shelldur and sploitbard walked through the camp, concerned about the state of their arsenal: ― We really could use a sturdy longhouse to house the troops, said Shelldur ― And new robes to shield ourselves from the weather, added Sploitbard TR: looking for sponsors. DMs are open

It looked really bleak for the warriors of the north but the taste for flags eventually set in and the hackers, fueled by shellcode and a desire for privescs, began their frenzy slaying challenge after challenge. In the end they stood triumphant as one of the qualifying teams.

*** Whoooooom *** The horn of sploit is sounding. The hour is upon us. The hacker tribes are preparing for the coming battle to secure a safe passage for the attack on the Order. Translation: can all Norse Code members please check-in on Mattermost.

The #CTF vikings of the north return home to from their second raid to celebrate their exploits. All foes have been vanquished and every obstacle conquered. The battle will echo through the ages but is still only preparation for the coming duel in the crucible of the DefCon quals
