Hackathon : JIC Capture the Flag (CTF)
Cybersecurity Competition

Event Overview

The Capture the Flag (CTF) Cybersecurity Competition is a dynamic two-day event crafted to immerse participants in an environment that balances competition with collaboration, fostering both individual growth and team synergy. Designed to mirror real-world cybersecurity scenarios, the event challenges participants to tackle hands-on, practical problems across domains such as web security, reverse engineering, cryptography, binary exploitation (PWN), and digital forensics.

Key Features:

  1. Structure & Participation
  • 30 participantsare grouped into teams of 3–5 members, encouraging strategic teamwork and knowledge-sharing.
  • Over two days, teams engage in 60 unique challenges(30 per day), each categorized by difficulty: Easy (50–100 points), Medium (150–200 points), and Hard (250–300 points).
  1. Real-World Focus
  • Challenges simulate actual cybersecurity threats, such as:
    • Penetration Testing: Identifying vulnerabilities in web applications.
    • Cryptanalysis: Decrypting encoded messages or cracking cipher algorithms.
    • Incident Response: Analyzing forensic artifacts (e.g., disk images, logs) to uncover hidden flags.
  • Participants use industry-standard tools (e.g., Wireshark, Ghidra, Metasploit) to solve problems, bridging theory and practice.
  1. Competitive-Collaborative Balance
  • Teams compete on a live leaderboardto earn points, but the event also promotes collaborative learning. For example:
    • Knowledge-sharing during breaks.
    • Mentorship from on-site cybersecurity specialists(for general guidance, not solutions).
  • Penalties for unethical practices (e.g., hacking other teams) ensure fair play.
  1. Educational & Professional Benefits
  • Skill Development: Enhances technical expertise in threat detection, ethical hacking, and system hardening.
  • Networking: Connects participants with peers, faculty, and industry professionals.
  • Awareness: Highlights the importance of cybersecurity in safeguarding digital infrastructure.
  1. Outcome & Recognition
  • Top teamsreceive awards (trophies, tech gadgets, certificates) at a dedicated award ceremony.
  • All participants earn certificates of completion, adding value to academic and professional portfolios.

Day 1:

  • Start: 12:00 AM
  • End: 4:00 PM
