Insomni'hack is a Swiss cybersecurity conference and hacking contest founded and organized by Orange Cyberdefense Switzerland (formerly SCRT SA)- since 2008. What started as a small-scale hacking contest in 2008, has now become one of the largest cybersecurity events in Switzerland and neighboring Europe, as well as one of the largest on-site CTF’s worldwide gathering a wide spectrum of cybersecurity professionals and enthusiasts from all over the globe.
The event spans over five days, typically offering a series of intensive workshops from Monday to Wednesday, followed by two days of expert talks on Thursday and Friday.
As per the tradition, the highly anticipated on-site Capture the Flag (CTF) competition closes the event. Running overnight from Friday to Saturday (5 AM), this ethical hacking contest challenges 700 participants, in teams of up to eight people, to solve complex security puzzles in order to discover and exploit vulnerabilities in a race against time. The CTF is renowned for its challenging format and immersive atmosphere, attracting both seasoned CTF players and aspiring hackers.
In addition to its technical and up to date content, Insomni'hack serves as an important networking hub for both cybersecurity professionals and enthusiasts.
