The video speaks towards the training model adopted by Carnegie Mellon’s Capture-the-Flag (CTF) team, which has won multiple DEFCON events. This is a remarkable feat, particularly given that the team must experiences some degree of turnover every year (and total turnover at least every 4). I’m already familiar with their annual contest (which, as the lecture describes, also doubles as a screening event for University recruitment); but what really spoke to me was how their approach to codifying the education process.
