Offensive cybersecurity challenge.
Participants must analyze vulnerable systems, exploit weaknesses, and retrieve hidden flags.
Challenges are level-based, increasing in difficulty.
Categories may include (but are not limited to):
Web Exploitation
Cryptography
Reverse Engineering
Forensics
Binary Exploitation
OSINT
King of the Hill (KoTH):
Defensive cybersecurity challenge.
Teams are given access to a server/system that must be secured and maintained.
Other teams will attempt to compromise the system.
Scoring is survival-based — the longer your system remains secure, the higher your score.
Number of Questions / Problem Statements:
3 questions per domain
Each domain will have 3 difficulties easy , medium , hard
Duration:
Total Duration: 24 hours
Start: 30 January – 6:00 PM
End: 31 January – 6:00 PM

KoTH scores are based on system uptime and resistance to attacks.
Final leaderboard will be based on combined scores from all rounds.
Rules:
Fair Play
Participants must not share flags, solutions, exploits, or hints with other teams.
Any form of plagiarism or collaboration between teams will lead to disqualification.
