OKCUP Oklahoma Cybersecurity Competition

Oklahoma Cup

Oklahoma Cup is a free invitational cybersecurity contest for Oklahoma teams, similar in style to the AFA CyberPatriot competition. It's meant to give teams extra competition and training.

It's a resource to use with your students, and hopefully a fun one. Serious teams can use it to prepare for CyberPatriot. More casual teams can use it to learn a serious subject in a game-like setting.

How a round works

Each round has four virtual machine images: Windows desktop, Windows Server, Linux desktop, and Cisco Packet Tracer. Your team works through them, fixing flaws, securing settings, cleaning up malware, and answering forensic questions.

You compete remotely. Coaches can download the images ahead of time and set up a competition area before the round. Each round runs over a two-day window that teams choose from, and each team gets three hours once its images start.

As a team works, the images report to a live scoreboard, so players and coaches can see how they're doing against other teams.
