Cryptography

In this challenge the players will have to encrypt and decrypt schemes that may be improperly implemented, the players in this challenge will be required to understand the underlying and basic principles that will help them better find flaws and cracks in the codes.

Web Exploitation/ Penetration

Websites all around the world are programmed using various programming languages. While there are specific vulnerabilities in each programming language that the developer should be aware of, there are issues fundamental to the internet that can show up regardless of the chosen language or framework.

Reverse Engineering

In this challenge the players will be required to take a compiled (machine code, bytecode) program and convert it back into a more human readable format. Very often the goal of a reverse engineering challenge is to understand the functionality of a given program such that you can identify deeper issues.
