Thank you to everyone that attended and partipated in Queen's CTF! We hope to see you again next year.
Checkout results of the Competition below:
A CTF (Capture The Flag) is an information security competition where contestants solve a variety of tasks to find the hidden “Keys”.
In a Jeopardy-style CTF like QCTF, these keys are found in a variety of challenges across many different fields of computer science. Below are some the categories you might encounter.
Exploiting a binary file to make it behave unexpectedly
Finding information hidden in text, files, or images
Decrypting or encrypting a piece of data
Finding obscure information and data on the internet
Exploiting web pages to find a flag
Exploiting a server or remote service to find a flag
The Queen’s Capture the Flag is an annual event run in partnership with the Queen’s Engineering Society that allows Queen’s University students interested in cybersecurity and other fields of computing and information technology to learn technical skills through friendly competition. This hands-on experience provides a space for participants to learn and practice skills seldom taught in academia or other extracurricular events.
