Hackathon Details

Students will compete in teams of 2-4 to take on a series of cybersecurity-related challenges, ranging from hacking to AI to reverse engineering. The hackathon is in capture-the-flag (CTF) format.

The hackathon spans 1.5 days over March 1-2, 2025. Participants are welcome to spend the night of March 1 hacking on campus, or take a break and head home to sleep.

Entry categories

When you register, you will be asked to select your level of hacking experience – beginner or advanced. The top teams in each category will win cash prizes! We welcome all hackers (especially beginners) to attend our free “How to Hack” workshop in January to learn how a CTF hackathon works and get tips from the @Hack challenge developers themselves. More info on this workshop is coming soon!
