Rules

Before you submit, we would firstly like to outline a few house rules for submissions:

  • Please do not submit any unserious or illegal files (zip bombs, malware, etc.) in an attempt to attack the CASSA systems.
  • File submissions must be uploaded in the form of a zip file.
  • Challenges must be made high school friendly or they will not be considered for PECAN+.
  • Flags should be in the flag format pecan{flag}, though if they are not they will be changed to this format if selected.
  • Have fun!

Submissions

To submit a challenge, please use the form below. Each form entry is for one challenge only, but you may make multiple submissions.
Please complete the form to the best of your abilities. If selected, your challenges rating, category, or description may be edited to better fit the required format for PECAN+, though the files and core concept will remain the same.
