FIND THE FLAG.

Teams of four break into a made-up company built just for the weekend. Every flag found puts points on the big screen. The winners get a trophy made from old hard drives.

// faq

Questions, decrypted.

Is it only for experts?

No. One track is for beginners, and every workshop starts from zero.

Is the CTF legal?

Completely. Every target is ours, built for the event, and nothing leaves the room.

Are talks recorded?

Most of them, and they go online for free a month later.

Reboot your brain.

12 to 13 March, in an old power station. Hacker tickets are half gone.
