In today’s world, cyber threats are evolving faster than ever. From data breaches to ransomware attacks, organizations face constant digital risks. This hackathon aims to build the next generation of cybersecurity experts by providing real-world challenges that simulate modern attack and defense scenarios. Participants will compete in teams to solve security-based challenges, identify vulnerabilities, secure systems, and develop innovative security tools. Whether you're a beginner in ethical hacking or an advanced penetration tester, this event will test your technical skills, analytical thinking, and teamwork. Challenges: 🔐 Web Application Penetration Testing Participants must identify and exploit vulnerabilities in a simulated web application environment. The objective is to uncover security flaws such as SQL injection, XSS, authentication bypass, CSRF, and insecure APIs. 🌐 Network Defense & Threat Detection Participants will analyze network traffic logs to detect malicious activity, including DDoS attacks, brute-force attempts, malware communication, and suspicious packets. 💻 Secure Coding & Vulnerability Patching Participants will be given vulnerable source code. Their task is to: Identify security weaknesses Patch vulnerabilities Improve authentication mechanisms Implement encryption where needed 🏴 Capture The Flag (CTF) Arena Participants must: Decode encrypted messages Reverse engineer binaries Extract hidden data Capture maximum flags within time Timeline of the hackathon: 🗓️ 🚀 Participant Registration: 23rd Feb (20:00) - 1st April (23:59) 👥 Team setup & Confirmations: 2nd April (00:00) - 27th April (18:00) 🎤 Opening & Rule Briefing: 27th April (18:01) - 27th April (19:07) 🔥 Hackathon Live Phase: 27th April (19:08) - 28th April (20:08) 💻 Meeting: 28th April (20:09) - 28th April (22:00) ✍️ Project Evaluation Round: 28th April (22:01) - 30th April (16:10) ⚖️ 🏆 Winner Announcement Ceremony: 30th April (16:11) - 2nd May(19:01) Rules: 1.
