Competition Details:

Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions, in the cybersecurity sense, are not related to playing outdoor running or traditional computer games. Instead, they consist of a set of computer security puzzles, or challenges, involving reverse-engineering, memory corruption, cryptography, web technologies, and more. When players solve them they get a “flag,” a secret string which can be exchanged for points. The more points a team earns, the higher up it moves in rank.

This competition is intended to check all round cyber defense and offense capabilities of students. The round will consist of multiple challenges, with each challenge having certain designated points. Teams with the maximum number of points will win. Challenges may include but will not necessarily be limited to:

• Malware analysis
• Rootkit detection
• File format reverse engineering
• Web pentesting
• Software reverse engineering Log data analysis
