Join us for the Neuland CTF Winter 2025 - our third Capture The Flag event!
Capture The Flag is a competition where you can legally hack and exploit intentionally vulnerable programs or websites. You will solve tasks in the categories web, steganography, blue team, cryptography, osint (open source intelligence), reverse engineering, pwn/binary exploitation, artificial intelligence and miscellaneous tasks. For every hack, there is a flag that secures you points and a place on the scoreboard. You do not need any previous knowledge, the CTF includes tasks for all levels of experience.
In addition to getting to know students with the same interests and having fun solving puzzles, there is of course also free food (lunch & dinner) + drinks and prizes for the best hackers. The participants get merch and a Neuland CTF T-Shirt.
