Frederik Braun �@gannimo are you still involved with lakectf? Were you part of the decision making for the No LLM Policy at https://lakectf.epfl.ch/no-llm.html. I like the idea and have been thinking about the brokenness of CTF for a while. As a further step, I was wondering if it makes sense to provide scored/points only as a measurement of difficulty and stop showing a scoreboard altogether. Only show activity as "progress“ per category rather than points or rankings :).
@gannimo …progress still remains as an inventive to get it done as first team, so might make sense to show progress as in "everything that is solvable because it has been solved" rather than "who has done the most".
Mathias Payer@freddy I wasn't involved in the decision making but support the no-LLM-based on honor principle. Most teams were strongly in favor as slopping takes a lot of the fun out of CTFs. There's a difference between online and onsite though as policing is next to impossible. And the situation evolves, so we'll have to see where this whole movement goes.
