Prizes

The best players will win fancy prizes such as hacker equipment, subscription and many other surprises! They will be awarded at the social event on Thursday 20 April.

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.
