What's a wargame?
 Wargame Concept (for your preparation - what are the wargames about?)
Wargame Handbook (this helps you during the Wargame days - read it carefully)
It is no pedagogical secret that learning should be fun in order to achieve the highest possible long-term success. In the frame of hacking wargames, practice oriented case studies are simulated enabling you to understand, impede and prevent attacks.
There is nothing new about the conduction of wargames. Already in the early 19th century strategists simulated through «war games» the possible tactics of the enemies in order to study them. They form an integral part of the defensive considerations. Whereas the attacking strategies have remained the same throughout times, the techniques have changed. In the globalisation of information attacks on IT systems are omnipresent.
 The wargame consists of the interactive hacking lab infrastructure developed by Compass Security AG. This infrastructure offers as an autarkic solution the possibility to trespass the normal borders in a test environment. Under practical conditions situations are simulated which are found by IT specialists every day. A total of 25 selected wargames from different fields and IT platforms, such as Windows, Unix, Networks, Malware, Web applications or encryption as well as a specially for the lab designed Webshop are at your disposal as computer riddles. The dynamic design offers the possibility to respond to the personal needs and capabilities of the participants. The participant can choose individual wargames he is particularly interested in. According to a given task he can try to solve the riddle with his own laptop or with one of the computers provided in limited number. If he succeeds, the participant is awarded points which are added to his ranking.
To solve a wargame the participants are expected to familiarise themselves with the given topic independently in combination with the practical implementation of the acquired knowledge. Tutors are at your service throughout the event for discussions, impulses and advice. The participants may and even shall form teams. Also here the rule applies, that the know-how of many beats the know-how of an individual. In regular intervals specific wargames are presented in detail on stage and possible counter measures and defence strategies are discussed.
