  • The contest is 6 hours long in which all the participants are required to use their skills to solve the challenges and submit the Flags captured in the online portal.
  • Post to completion of solving a challenge, participants need to capture a screenshot of the Flag with a timestamp visible and prepare a detailed report in the template provided with a step-by-step approach for solving a particular challenge.
  • This report should be uploaded on the hack quest portal before the deadline as mentioned.
  • Secondly, uploading this report to the hack quest portal is mandatory and any participant failing to upload the report will NOT be considered for further evaluation. This will result in the automatic disqualification of the candidate for that edition of HackQuest as well. So, please also make sure that the report is original and does not match with another contestant in which case, both contestants would be rendered ineligible for further editions of HackQuest.
  • The maximum size of the report should not be more than 6MB.
  • Therefore, participants are free to use tools of their choice. Using tools that send a huge amount of traffic or tampering with the App which hosts the challenges is strictly prohibited.
