< ABOUT BSIDES CPT - 2024 CTF >
Our CTF is well underway, with Challenge One having dropped on the 22nd of November 2024..
We have a number of varied challenges that will test your depth and breadth of hacking knowledge. Whether you are a seasoned CTF player or never done one, give it a try today.
The theme this year is “Beyond Barriers”, so why not get involved, try solve a flag or two. This CTF is open to all BSides Cape Town attendees and we encourage you all to try each challenge.
Who knows – you may go beyond your own barriers and surprise yourself. Remember, you don’t fail – you only learn! We will be releasing a new challenge every day, and all challenges are created by various companies across South Africa.
We have tried to cater for all skill levels, but also acknowledge that everyone has different skill levels.
