Briefly discuss the war gaming strategies Capture the Flag, King of the Hill, and Defend the Flag.

What will be an ideal response?


Capture the flag: In this strategy, a "flag" or token file is placed on each team's system. The teams are given a predetermined amount of time to protect the systems, short of encrypting the flag, and then both defend their flag, and attempt to capture the opponent team's or teams' flag(s). This can be executed on a one-on-one basis or in a larger scope, with multiple teams in a free-for-all.

King of the hill: In this variation, similar to "capture the flag", one team is designated as king of the hill (KOTH), and has a flag planted in its systems. One or more other teams work independently to breach the KOTH security and obtain the file.

Defend the flag: In this combination of KOTH and computer simulations, a number of systems are set up to continually attack or simulate attacks on the target system. The defensive team must react to an escalating level of attacks to successfully defend their systems.
