About
What is CSCTF?
Jeopardy-Style CTF
Around 40 challenges, each a realistic scenario built with practitioners from the sectors warfare touches. Designed to resist pattern-matching old writeups or handing the work to an LLM.
Real-World Skills
Web, cryptography, reverse engineering, forensics, OSINT, pwn, Linux, and Windows. The story sets the scene; the technical work is the same skill any serious player brings.
Participant Categories
Three brackets, one challenge set
You enter one bracket based on age. Everyone faces the same challenges and the same scoreboard — the brackets only separate how prizes are awarded.

Under 18. Compete on the full challenge set against your own age bracket.
Seniors
18 and over. The standard bracket for adult players.
Fighters
Open to everyone, no age limit. The top bracket, with the biggest prizes.
