We are arranging a 24 hour Capture The Flag (CTF) competition for everybody who wants to improve their skills regarding Cyber Security. The different challenges will be within the topics:- Web exploitation (XSS, Authentication, Information, SQL-injections etc.)
- Cryptography
- PPC (algorithms to break stuff, automated playing games etc.)
- Bad configured servers
- Reverse engineering
- Binary exploitation
Challenges will be grouped in topics and divided by difficulty. You are free to choose any challenges you want to work on during the event.

Who should participate
Everyone! The event will have focus on being beginner friendly, while still providing harder challenges for the experienced. We will give talks and introductions on various techniques to solve these problems. We will also provide a written introduction to each kind of challenge.Expected skills
You should be familiar with writing short scripts and analyzing code as many of the challenges will require you to do so. Some might require you to automate a simple process leaking a character at a time. Doing so manually is possible, but if you have to do it 4000 times it becomes quite tedious.
The challenges are to be completed either alone or in groups of up to 5 people, which you decide yourself. The team size is set to encourage teamwork and cooperation, but it is by no means necessary to be that many. Groups of 2-3 persons works just as well.
When is it
The event will start at Friday 17th of April at 5pm (doors open at 4:30pm) and will end Saturday evening. We will provide food during the event. It will also be possible to sleep in an adjacent building using your own sleeping mat.
