They win almost every local conference they play in and have claimed the top spot at the BSides Canberra CTF for the past three years running.

In 2025, they're stepping up in a new role: not just as competitors, but as creators. skateboarding dog is designing and hosting the BSides Canberra CTF – and if their track record is anything to go by, it’s going to be one of the best challenges you’ll play all year.
