Is Jeopardy CTF cooked?
There's a recent complain that just pop up around CTF lately.
Where... you guessed it, AI seems ruined it.
Teams trying to solve challenges, by just throw it to LLMs. And submit the flag.
That seems made "fun" on suffering challs, seems gone.
Also people who made the CTF challenges... burned out.
Not to mention the top 1 team of CTFtime is now... Also an AI Agent.
Which made, CTF veterans around my community, that just went off social medias or just left CTF scene completely.
There are do some suggestions like:
1. Banning the AI
2. Measure the point based on write-up, not by flag submission
3. Make harder challenge that cannot be one shot by LLMs
4. Or just, do nothing
5. etc
I do believe jeopardy CTF are still a great way on learning things, but competitively? I do not know...
What is your perspective? Is there a hypothetical solution you can think of?
I would like to see people opinion on this.
