DefCon CTF 2007 Qualifications
This year, Kenshoto hosted the 2007 DefCon Capture-the-Flag Qualifications round, starting the evening of June 1st.
The Underminers (secretly Team 1@stPlace: @tlas, drb, fury, jrod, mezzendo, plato, psifertex, shiruken, wrffr), while having an automatic spot in 2007 CTF, decided to play along with quals because it always kicks so much ass. We hope our write-ups on this site will help anyone interested in practicing or learning more for future CTF adventures.
Please send any errors, corrections, ideas, or flames to Doc Brown. (Thanks to Luwenth, sk3wlm4st3r, Squires, and RacerX for updates, and additional giant thanks to sk3wlm4st3r for the BinLeet 500 walk-through, adc for the Pwnage 400 walk-through, and to RacerX for the Pwnage 500 walk-through.) Huge thanks to Kenshoto for letting us distribute the Web Hacking and Pwnage 100 server sources. Any links below marked "Kenshoto Source" were given out after the quals, but they're handy for recreating the services locally now that their servers are offline.
Kenshoto sent official instructions, but the short version is: find a secret key associated with each challenge. Below is the list of challenges, broken down by category, along with the key that that was recovered once the challenge was solved so you can check your work. Questions were made available by having the team with the highest score select a new question to work on, forcing a certain level of serialization. For challenges that require a running server instance (e.g. Web, Pwnables, and some Binary Leetness) you'll use the server at *.allyourboxarebelongto.us. These services may or may not be available, depending on Kenshoto's infrastructure. If there is source available, you can run your own copy.

The walk-throughs are not finished; we're still waiting on Kenshoto to give us all the pwnage. In the meantime, here are some plots of scores, based on the raw scoring data:
