Participants should be passionate about cybersecurity and motivated to expand their knowledge through hands-on challenges and real-world problem-solving. The competition welcomes students from both inside and outside Jordan who are eager to learn, collaborate, and take their first steps toward a career in the cybersecurity field.

Competition Challenges
Encryption

Participants will learn and apply encryption principles, identify and exploit weaknesses in flawed implementations, and enhance their skills in data security. The challenge aims to deepen their understanding of protecting sensitive information using various encryption techniques.

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.

Binary Exploitation

In this challenge players will be asked to find a vulnerability (Binaries, or executables) in the program and exploit it to gain control of a shell in order to modify the program's functions.

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.
