The Ghost in the Machine - Capture the Flag by KPN
2025-10-31 , Workshop

October 2025. MyTelco, a global telecom giant, is under siege. Not by a known threat actor, but by something stranger...

Calls drop, leaving behind eerie static whispers. Data packets vanish without a trace. Rogue signals disrupt critical systems. In the NOC, screens flicker with unreadable glyphs and error logs defy logic. Officially, it’s a suspected cyberattack. Unofficially? Employees whisper of a digital poltergeist, something haunting the very heart of the network.

You are brought in as MyTelco’s last hope.

In this session, step into the shoes of a senior security specialist tasked with investigating the unexplainable. You’ll follow the forensic trail through ghost data, spectral code, and manipulated infrastructure. Is it a new breed of cyberweapon? An insider with a vendetta? Or is the network itself turning against its creators?

Expect real-world tools, tactics, and a case study unlike any other.
Expect the unexpected.
The network is alive. And it's angry.

And if you exorcise the ghost in the network successfully? You might win a prize...
