Adventure Center
Project Obsidian CTF
Introduction
Developed by BTV’s Project Obsidian team, this CTF offers an immersive incident response exercise designed to challenge and engage participants of all skill levels. Dive into a detailed, realistic scenario that tests your ability to handle complex security incidents and sharpen your cyber defense skills.
This year, we’re enhancing the experience with the OWASP JuiceShop platform, adding an extra layer of web application security challenges. While JuiceShop provides valuable additional content, the core of Project Obsidian remains its rich, hands-on incident response scenarios. Whether you’re new to cybersecurity or a seasoned expert, join us for a dynamic and rewarding experience. Blue Team Village proudly presents… Project Obsidian!
SAGE ADVICE
We champion the concept of choosing your adventure, allowing participants to download required evidence (logs, packets, etc.) or access the provided SIEM's for hunting. For those new to cyber defense, we highly recommend joining BTV’s Project Obsidian workshop sessions, covering essential CTF topics to support your journey.
