Onsite CTF
Details
The main Insomni’hack CTF contest - one of the largest onsite CTFs in the world - is held on the last day of the conference (Friday). It starts shortly after the end of the talks and extends through the night until 5 AM. Teams are limited to 8 participants, onsite only. Participation to the CTF is free of charge, however due to the limited number of available seats (approx. 700), prior registration is required.
Student teams from technical schools and universities are welcome to the onsite CTF. They will benefit from a dedicated ranking in order to compete against each other. Each school team is also limited up to 8 players (including a maximum of 2 professors/teaching assistants).
