Capture The Flag

Test your hacking skills in competitive cybersecurity challenges. Solve puzzles, exploit vulnerabilities, and capture flags to prove your expertise.

What is CTF?

Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions are cybersecurity challenges where participants solve security-related puzzles to find hidden "flags" - secret strings that prove you've successfully completed a challenge.

Our CTF events cover various categories including web exploitation, cryptography, reverse engineering, forensics, binary exploitation, and more.
