Speedrun CTF Qualifiers
2025-09-25 , Exhibition Hall

Welcome to the Speedrun CTF Qualifier—where precision, speed, and nerves of steel collide.

Individual competitors will face two challenges drawn from a mix of web, pwn, reverse engineering, or crypto. You’ll have a maximum of 15 minutes to complete both.

The faster you solve, the higher you climb. Only the top 8 fastest solvers will earn a spot in the live finale.

No second chances. No warm-ups. Just you, the challenge, and the clock. Think you're fast enough?

Your host for the Speedrun CTF is none other than toasterpwn (https://x.com/toasterpwn) - winner of the Hexacon Speedrun CTF 2024, captain of the rising Australian team Emu Exploit, and a professional vulnerability researcher at InfoSect.

Known for sharp skills and even sharper reflexes, toasterpwn has quickly built a reputation as Australia’s newest, brightest hacker. Whether it’s pwning binaries or racing the clock, they're here to put challengers to the test and bring the heat to the qualifier.
