We’re excited to spread some year-end excitement by announcing our 2023 EOY (End-of-Year) Capture The Flag (CTF)! 

We believe in the power of hands-on experience, continuous learning, and the joy of friendly competition. This EOY CTF is open to all skill levels and designed to challenge, educate, and entertain.

About Our EOY CTF

Our CTF tournament is not your average competition. It’s a battle of wits, problem-solving, and critical thinking where participants face off against challenging cybersecurity scenarios. The tournament features a series of challenges that require participants to exploit vulnerabilities, analyze code, decrypt messages, and overcome obstacles to obtain flags and prove their expertise.

In addition to the thrill of the competition, our EOY CTF provides an invaluable learning opportunity. You’ll have the chance to hone your cybersecurity skills and gain practical experience in a simulated environment. 

The challenges are meticulously crafted to mirror real-world scenarios, allowing you to develop hands-on expertise in network security, web application security, Active Directory attacks, and more. Our 200 and 300-level courses, offered as prizes, will further elevate your knowledge and give you an edge in the cybersecurity landscape.
