Chakravyuh - The Escape Protocol

Chakravyuh: The Escape Protocol is a two-day cybersecurity competition designed to challenge engineering students to test their technical skills, creativity, and security mindset. The event brings together students from universities across Bengaluru to compete in two specialized tracks focused on offensive security, secure system design, and real-world cybersecurity problem solving. Participants can choose between: Cyber Escape Challenge Arena (CTF Track) A Capture-The-Flag style cybersecurity competition where teams solve technical security challenges across multiple domains such as binary exploitation, cryptography, web security, OSINT, digital forensics, AI security, and blockchain exploitation. Secure Systems Hackathon (Hackathon Track) A cybersecurity innovation challenge where teams design and build secure solutions for real-world problems in areas such as Cyber + AI, Cyber + IoT, Cyber + Cloud, Blockchain security, digital forensics, and open innovation. Along with the competition tracks, participants will also have the opportunity to attend a hands-on cybersecurity workshop conducted by industry experts, where they will learn modern attack techniques, defensive strategies, and practical security tools used in real-world environments. What makes Chakravyuh unique is its combination of competitive cybersecurity challenges, innovation-driven hacking, and hands-on industry learning, all packed into an intensive two-day experience. Teams will compete on a live leaderboard, showcase their secure prototypes, and present their ideas to a panel of expert judges. The event is open to engineering students from universities in and around Bengaluru, with teams consisting of 2–3 members from the same university. Participants must register through the official event website: https://chakravyuh.salus-fet.tech. Participation Fee ₹200 per track for external university students ₹100 per track for Jain University students.
