WordPress Security CTF Challenge — Authorized Penetration Testing
Organized by Security Researcher Mohammed Abdulrahman
I am pleased to announce an upcoming Capture The Flag (CTF) cybersecurity challenge, hosted on a dedicated server under my control.
🎯 Challenge Objectives
A realistic WordPress website will be deployed on a dedicated physical Raspberry Pi device and exposed online through a private VPS infrastructure.
Participants are invited to demonstrate their technical skills by achieving one or more of the following objectives:
Full Server Compromise: Demonstrate authorized access to the underlying server and its operating environment.
Database Extraction: Successfully retrieve the challenge's designated database and demonstrate access to its contents.
Website Defacement: Successfully upload and display a custom index page on the challenge website.
🔐 Rules of Engagement & Authorization
I, Mohammed Abdulrahman, the security researcher organizing this challenge, explicitly authorize registered participants to perform security testing and exploitation activities against the designated CTF target, subject to the official challenge scope and rules.
This authorization applies exclusively to the designated challenge environment. Attacks against unrelated systems, third-party infrastructure, or services outside the defined scope are strictly prohibited.
Participants must not use the challenge to attack other systems, access unrelated data, or disrupt external services.
💼 Career Opportunity
This challenge is also an opportunity to identify talented cybersecurity professionals.
The winner may be offered an employment opportunity with our company, subject to technical evaluation, verification of results, and the company's recruitment requirements.
