HOLIDAY HACK CHALLENGE 2024: SNOW-MAGGEDON

Whether you're a first-time player or a seasoned participant, this year’s
Holiday Hack brings exciting new features you won’t want to miss! We’ve
introduced a new dynamic for this year: challenges will be gradually released*
in sync with the story, keeping the experience fresh and immersive. See
challenges release dates and new features included.

 * November 7........Prologue
 * November 11......Act 1
 * November 18......Act 2
 * December 2........Act 3

Skill Levels: Every challenge will offer two modes: an easy mode and a harder
mode. Players can choose either mode to solve the challenge, depending on their
skill level or preference.

Challenge Skipping: Each challenge will include a “play-through” mode, allowing
players to advance the storyline without solving the challenge immediately. You
can skip a challenge and return to it later.

Share Solutions: For the Prologue, Act 1, and Act 2, participants can post
answers or livestream their solutions starting one week after each section's
release. This allows others to learn from shared solutions and progress in the
game. However, for Act 3, players must wait until after the competition ends
before sharing their answers or solutions.

Scoreboard and Cohorts: Track your progress on a live scoreboard of all players,
plus a separate scoreboard dedicated to a cohort exclusively for your
organization or group of friends, allowing you to have a friendly competition
with peers.

*Sign up below to be notified when new challenges are released.

 * CONTEST INSTRUCTIONS (CLICK TO VIEW)
   
   Reports should be submitted by the end of the day on January 3, 2025*.
   Alternatively, if you'd rather not use the Google form
   (https://forms.gle/mE8GAee2fSCxED1M7), you can email your answers to
   SANSHolidayHackChallenge@counterhack.com.
   
   You DO NOT have to answer all questions to be eligible to win a prize. All
   reports must be 75 pages or fewer in length.
   
   From all submitted entries, we'll pick three winners, according to the
   following plan:
   
    1. One random draw answer whose user has clicked on each of the five vendor
       booths (Google, Microsoft, RSAC, SANS.edu, and Holiday Hack Swag Store):
       1. HOLIDAY HACK CHALLENGE T-SHIRT
    2. The best technical answer:
       1. ONE SUBSCRIPTION TO NETWARS CONTINUOUS for FOUR MONTHS
    3. The most creative (while technically correct) answer:
       1. ONE SUBSCRIPTION TO NETWARS CONTINUOUS for FOUR MONTHS
    4. The best overall answer, our GRAND PRIZE WINNER:
       1. ONE SANS ONDEMAND TRAINING COURSE**
   
   Remember, even if you can't answer one or more of the questions, please do
   submit an answer of any kind to be entered in our random draw. Seriously, if
   you get 50%, 80%, or 98% of the answers, you'll still be eligible to win.
   
   The very best overall answer earns our Grand Prize - a complimentary SANS
   OnDemand course of your choice! The winner will choose from any of SANS' 30+
   Online Courses, and will complete SANS training at their own pace from
   anywhere on the internet.
   
   Feel free to post answers from Prologue challenges after Act 1 launches (Nov.
   11, 2024).  You can likewise post Act 1 challenges after Act 2 launches (Nov.
   18, 2024).  And, you can post Act 2 answers after Act 3 launches (Dec. 2,
   2024).  We kindly ask that you refrain from publicly publishing any answers,
   write-ups, or walkthroughs for Act 3 until after the competition ends on our
   submission deadline of January 3, 2025. Once that passes, please feel free to
   publish!
   
   Happy Holidays!
