The CTF

Like the four 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 many points as possible.

This CTF will take place during the Saturday after the talks. You can join it either remotely (a link will be added in this site's header in due time) or phisically (at ENSEEIHT, 2 Rue Charles Camichel, 31000 Toulouse), with teams either fully on-site or fully remote.

The participants are expected to bring their own computers and headsets. Should some specific material be required for a challenge, this will be provided by the organizers.
