The National Scientific Computing Unit's Cybersecurity Incident Response Team (RCTS CERT) is hosting a 48-hour “Capture The Flag” event from October 13 to 15.

THE RCTS CERT once again challenges all those interested in cybersecurity to participate in a CTF competition. This time, the event takes place during eJornadas 2020, between 12:00 pm on October 13th and 12:00 pm on October 15th (48 hours).

The competition focuses on one type of CTF in particular: “Jeopardy”. The objective is to find the solution to each challenge by finding the corresponding “flag”. The competition takes place through a platform where participants can access challenges in various categories and submit their solutions.

Some of the categories present in the competition are Crypto, Network, OSINT, Reverse Engineering, Steganography or Web. The resolution of each challenge will be scored according to a level of difficulty previously defined by the organization.

This competition is supported by MetaRed Portugal, and prizes will be awarded to the winning team. For information and registration, interested parties can visit: https://e-jornadas2020.ctf.cert.rcts.pt/
