Learn to think like a hacker!

A "Capture the Flag" (CTF) is an ethical game for learning and practising computer security skills in a legal environment. We will play the OverTheWire Bandit game, which teaches Linux fundamentals needed for succeeding with more advanced CTFs.

You can play on your own or in a team. All you need to bring is a laptop with an SSH client installed, for example OpenSSH or PuTTY. Most modern operating systems come with an SSH client pre-installed.

Open for all, no registration needed. Bring a friend!
