Sessions
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?
The top 8 have qualified - now it’s time to crown a champion live on stage.
In the Speedrun CTF Finale, competitors go head-to-head in a single-elimination bracket, racing through a gauntlet of challenges in front of a live audience. The fastest solver in each match advances, with the pressure mounting as the field thins.
Round by round, the competition intensifies - until only one winner remains standing.
