Challenges in creating challenges

The presentation is focused on explaining the task of overcoming the difficulties encountered on creating a challenge. For instance, creating a crippled symmetric encryption algorithm which should have only one weakness is in itself difficult if not tested properly because it can introduce several different vulnerabilities which are maybe easier to exploit in order to get to the flag. Or creating a capture of a non-deterministic exploit such as it was at ECSC with Openssl heartbleed.

And of course some lessons learned.
