Title: Robotics CTF (RCTF), a playground for robot hacking,
Abstract: Robots state of insecurity is onstage. There is an emerging concern about
major robot vulnerabilities and their adverse consequences. However, there is
still a considerable gap between robotics and cybersecurity domains. For the
purpose of filling that gap, the present technical report presents the Robotics
CTF (RCTF), an online playground to challenge robot security from any browser.
We describe the architecture of the RCTF and provide 9 scenarios where hackers
can challenge the security of different robotic setups. Our work empowers
security researchers to a) reproduce virtual robotic scenarios locally and b)
change the networking setup to mimic real robot targets. We advocate for hacker
powered security in robotics and contribute by open sourcing our scenarios.
