Planning another CTF competition for the
@Limitless_OSINT platform.
This one takes place inside Syria.
Operation Al-Sham will place players inside a fictional intelligence operation built around real geography, real language complexity, real research, and the kind of ambiguity that makes OSINT both difficult and meaningful.
Players will be guided through the mission by SCPO Laura, their handler on the ground, while receiving fragments from Maya, a Syrian civilian source whose voice notes may be the difference between progress and failure. They will also encounter Avin, a Rojava contact who understands the borderlands in a way no map ever fully captures.
This will not be a conventional CTF.
There will be no easy reliance on hidden metadata, simple strings, or challenges that can be solved through one search. Players should expect to work through Arabic, Kurdish, and Turkish place names, real border crossings, Syrian geography, audio intel, and the uncomfortable uncertainty surrounding the intelligence tradecraft in theaters such as Syria.
Why Syria?
Because Syria is one of the most complex intelligence environments I have ever studied. It is a place where geography, language, history, conflict, displacement, ideology, borders, and human survival intersect in ways that force you to become sharper.
Studying Syria and its amalgamation of different elements pushed me to become better at the tradecraft of intelligence. It taught me that a map is never just a map, a name is never just a name, and a source is never just a source.
That is the spirit behind this CTF.
More details soon.
