RUMP

We will organize a rump on the Thursday! More information to come, stay tuned!

The CTF

Like the two previous editions, we will again organize a "Capture The Flag".

In that competition, players have to put their hacking skills into practice to solve cybersecurity challenges, like exploiting a flaw in a website, extracting data embedded in a memory image, finding vulnerabilities in an encryption protocol and much more… The resolution of each challenge gives you a "flag", a password needed to win points. The goal, as you might have guessed, is simply to score as much points as possible.

This CTF will take place during the Saturday that follows the talks, and will be organized at ENSEEIHT.

INTERNATIONAL INFLUENCE

In the last few editions, the CTF in hybrid face-to-face and distance learning format has captivated passionate and professional participants from all over the world!
