What is a Capture The Flag competition?

If you've never participated in a CTF before, it's a fun competition where you can engage in solving various computer science and cybersecurity challenges. Your goal is to find secret flags hidden within code, applications or networks. By solving puzzles and exploiting vulnerabilities, you'll earn points, and there are big prizes for the top scoring teams! It’s a great way to learn about binary & web exploitation, reverse engineering, digital forensics and programming. Our competition is designed to cater to all skill levels, so whether you're a seasoned pro or a total beginner, there’s something for everyone.

How can I register?

You can sign up for an account here to be able to log your progress once the CTF starts. Teams are limited up to a maximum of 5 people. You can also join the CTF discord to be kept up to date on announcements about the CTF and connect with other people that may be looking for teams.
