About this hackathon
About the Organizer:
HackoSquad is a growing cybersecurity community dedicated to helping students and enthusiasts learn ethical hacking, sharpen their problem-solving skills, and build a strong foundation in cybersecurity through hands-on, practical challenges. We believe the best way to learn security is by breaking (and fixing) things—and that's exactly what our CTFs are built for.
About the Event:
Get ready for HackoSquad's first-ever Capture The Flag (CTF) competition, wrapped in an exciting Marvel x DC superhero theme! ️️
This CTF is designed to be the perfect starting point for beginners while still offering a genuine challenge for advanced players. Participants will solve a series of hacking puzzles ("flags") across multiple categories to earn points and climb the leaderboard—all within a single high-energy 6-hour window.
