Capture The Flag (CTF)

Hack. Analyze. Capture the Flag. Prove Your Cyber Skills. Capture The Flag (CTF) is a thrilling cybersecurity competition where participants test their hacking, analytical, and problem-solving skills by solving real-world security challenges and uncovering hidden “flags.” These flags are secret codes/strings that indicate a successfully solved challenge. Designed to be beginner-friendly yet engaging for experienced participants, the event offers a hands-on platform to explore practical aspects of cybersecurity in a competitive environment. This Jeopardy-style CTF will feature challenges across domains such as Web Security, Cryptography, Digital Forensics, OSINT, and Reverse Engineering. Participants will identify vulnerabilities, decode clues, and apply logical thinking to capture flags within the given time. Top-performing teams will win exciting prizes, goodies, and may also receive interview opportunities with a cybersecurity-based company, making it both a skill-building and career-oriented experience. Eligibility Criteria: All undergraduate college students are eligible, irrespective of their branch, class, and field of study Max total teams limit : 60 to 70 Guidelines/ Rules: Challenges cover domains of cybersecurity.
