Sessions
Grab a soldering iron, clip in a shield, and choose your playground. Our drop-in Hardware CTF lets attendees build, and then break, two purpose‑built open‑source boards: CompatrIoT, which mirrors everyday smart‑home devices, and CompatriOT, a pocket‑sized PLC rig that behaves like the gear running factory floors. A quick solder‑on gateway earns the first flag; after that, players explore firmware extraction, wireless and NFC tricks, protocol tampering, and control‑logic mischief. Achievements pop straight onto a live scoreboard, mentors keep queues short, and everyone leaves with new skills and a fun experience in the world of Cyber Security. No prior hardware background required, just curiosity and a sense of fun.
