CyberStart Assess (Cyber Discovery UK)

Anyone here taking part in the CyberStart Assess round 1 challenges? If so where are you up to in it?

I've finished all 14 challenges but I'm curious where other people are on it!

Got it finished in just under an hour, quite easy tasks honestly.
I expected a little harder of a challenge but I assume that's what the other stages will be for, they make the competition harder and harder reducing the number of candidates.

The number of people commenting for help on the forums was quite shocking honestly, considering it's skills required will ALSO be required in the next harder stages.

Eh.
Wow that's impressive, I finished it in about a week but I guess it was because I did it during lunchtimes only! The next rounds seem to be on virtual machines so hopefully something easier, although challenge 14 was very difficult for me.

That's fair enough. They're worded in ways to try and make you THINK! :smile: If you aren't experienced with doing this type of question (I've participated in Cyber Secuirty challenge etc.) it's still a really good time to get in a week :smile:.

The VM stage will most likely be exploiting things on a vulnerable system or something along the lines of that. Something like Metasploit or similar perhaps?
Absolutely, I also participate in Cyber Centurion so when my computer science teacher told me about this I was excited.

I'm struggling so bad. I want to get this though. Been like a month and I've still not done the light one or the rocket one or the hex one. Also where is question 14. Mine only goes up to 13. Do you have to uncover it or something
