Pros vs Joes is a Capture the Flag event where inexperienced users learn from seasoned professionals in a fierce competition of attack and defend. Blue Teams of Joes work with Pro Captains to compete against other defending Teams, protecting horrifically vulnerable networks from assault by a dangerous and relentless Professional Red Team. Later in the day, Blue Teams turn Purple and can go offensive, attacking the other competing teams. After the dust settles at the end of the day, Blue and Red discuss events to help further mentoring and learning of defensive and offensive tradecraft. Come witness the teams do battle after weeks of preparation. Only the strongest will survive, but all will learn and have fun!
