We hope you’ve all enjoyed your summer holidays, chilling out on the beach, seeing new places and recharging your batteries. Because this autumn we’ve prepared the first edition of PwnThyBytes CTF, a top-notch global computer security competition, which we hope will be a fun and challenging experience for everybody. The contest starts on September 28th and we’re hyped to give you a sneak peek at what to expect.
Information security competitions, such as capture the flag (CTF) contests, have surged in popularity during the past decade. Think of them almost like e-sports for ethical hacking. In line with our mission to safeguard users’ data, we at Bitdefender host this event to bring together some of the most skilled teams around the world in areas such as Reverse Engineering, Binary Exploitation, Web Application Auditing, Computer Forensics Investigation, and Cryptography.
We extend a warm invitation to everyone connected to or interested in computer security. Build up a team of friends or seasoned professionals, or even have at it by yourself if that’s your thing. Pit yourselves against the most seasoned security professionals on the CTF scene. Enjoy the experience of displaying your techniques, learning new skills, competing with kindred spirits, all for the chance of claiming the rewards and the glory that comes with them.
If any of these questions strikes a nerve, click here to register. We look forward to seeing you showcase your skills!
