For all those Participants who care about good preparation for the Competition we have prepared a FAQ section based on the questions we received from you.
Question 1:
Does anything stand in the way of using the following tools during the Competition:
- Slack
- Google Drive
- Trello
- Online Postman documentation
- Video conference tool between team members, e.g. BlueJeans, another messenger

Answers:
- Any online tools may not work due to the lack of guaranteed Internet network.
- Desktop tools are allowed as long as they do not serve to communicate outside the team, decompile and attack participants’ infrastructure.
