Join us for the Trace Labs OSINT CTF for Missing Persons Challenge!
Each day we will present 8 real missing persons for you to track and submit Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) into our CTF platform.
Prizes awarded at the end of the day include licenses for Hunchly, the software every OSINT operator needs, and a variety of Trace Labs swag items!
This is a fantastic opportunity to get into the OSINT community, learn intelligence gathering, and to become a hero. Get your team together or work individually and join us at the Trace Labs table in the contest area to get started.
How is the Missing CTF Different from Other CTFs?
In the information security community, a typical CTF will be of a technical nature where “flags” are hidden within pre-configured servers/virtual machines that contestants have to obtain using hacking techniques to gain points. The Missing CTF differs from this by having different OSINT flag categories based off pieces of information that law enforcement would look to gather to aid in a missing persons investigation.
What is Trace Labs?
Trace Labs is a non-profit organization whose mission is to crowdsource the collection of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) to generate new leads on active missing persons investigations.

On day one, Blues lock down their systems against the onslaught. On day two, Blue Teams turn Purple and can go offensive, attacking the other competing teams. After the dust settles each day, Blue and Red discuss events to help further mentoring and learning of defensive and offensive tradecraft. Come witness the teams do battle after weeks of preparation.

What was new and improved last year, is now revised for our 10th anniversary!
After raising $7500 for our charity partners in 2018, we’re looking to blow that number out of the water this time around.
This year the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Diana Initiative will be joined by the No Starch Foundation, and the United Way of Southern Nevada. Our charity partners do so much good in the community, let’s show them how grateful we are by winning slick prizes and sniping winning bids.
Raffles will have three draws during Happy Hour each day, and at the closing ceremonies. To enter the raffle, purchase tickets by making donations right at the table and them in the draw boxes for each drawing. You must be present during the drawing to win.
Silent Auction bidding officially closes at 1900h on Wednesday, just before the closing ceremonies. To win, you must be present at the time of the auction, and you must be able to make payment by cash or PayPal. Any other questions? Want to donate something to the raffle or silent auction? Drop by our table in Middle Ground and let us know.
