DerbyCon Cake Scavenger Hunt

Top 3 #DerbyCake teams 

(98 pts) Hak4Kidz

(40 pts) Piratica

(30 pts) Kernel Sanders 

#DerbyCake the cake challenge is worth 50 pts by it self. You can also turn in scavenger hunt items there

We are a month and a half away from DerbyCon, and the time to submit items for the Scavenger Hunt is growing thin. With many of the opportunities to gather items in Vegas (Blackhat and Def Con) gone, you will need to use all of your skills to get as many points as possible before cake night. Last time, contestants barely had enough time to snap a picture before the last clue was devoured.

There are two sections to the list. The first, are the items you can turn in @ DerbyCon. The second (much larger list) are the items you can turn in prior to Derby

List: https://gist.github.com/mubix/eeff1fbaacbe15290e32

Submit photographic and video items here: https://www.dropbox.com/request/OrP53Wt8NogpJ9cjdxE7 

In 2011 there was a cake, in 2012 the cake challenged you to crack the hash, in 2013 we went insane with scavenger hunt items. In 2014.. we don’t talk about 2014. In 2015, you now have now until Derby to try to win. Ready? Set? GO!

(Local == Louisville, Home = Your home town)

RULES

Any and all items involving staff or attendees must be done with their express permission.

Scoreboard won't be available until DerbyCon (but you can submit the items below ahead of time)

Each item for the scavenger hunt is 1 point (unless otherwise designated)

The cake challenge items are worth 50 points each. There will be 2 (possibly 3). ;-)

If you are adverse to hugging then it can be a handshake for any of the challenge or hunt items

The cake will be displayed and eaten on Saturday night before the party. It would behouve you to attend

The cake will have edible and non-edible clues.

There are clues in presentations. I'm not telling whos, but talk to your fellow attendees, the clue is with the cake.

Any denial of service or distruption of other contestants will result in disqualification

Mis-information however, is completely in scope, in fact, its a 1 point scavenger item.

I've gotten a some questions about people wanting more information about the challenge, but afraid it will be out of there league.  There are 2 parts to the challenge.

There are 2-ish challenges that will be a part of the cake itself as well as the con, both of these pieces are 50 points each and are highly technical in nature, this piece is more oriented towards the IR/Pentest/Forensics/Crypto/RE bunch.

The scavenger hunt piece is made up over 50 hunt items to either get, get a photo of, or a video. Below is a small snippet of the types of items on the list:

You or your group (proof via video, most get extra points the more people involved):

Playing the "Meow" game (from Super Troopers) on a complete stranger

Get a policeman/women to sing your country's national anthem (from beginning to end!)

Do a dramatic earthquake scene in a public place (extra points if on the video the scene really looks like an earthquake)

Shaking hands with a man with a beard (double points for a woman with a beard)

Stage a Kung-Fu battle on the sidewalk outside a hotel

Walking the dog of someone you don't know

Singing at a karaoke bar

So someone could win by doing just the challenges or a bunch of the scavenger hunt items. I wanted to make it so anyone could win and not just make it rely on pure technical knowledge.
