How difficult is this hackathon?

Not difficult at all! This hackathon was intentionally made to be beginner-friendly so that students without any coding or cybersecurity experience can enjoy the it. You really just need to capitalize on the internet and think out of the box :D

What's the format like for the hackathon?

The hackathon's organized in a "Capture The Flag" (CTF) format where teams progress through the immersive story by finding flags in the right places. Following that, every team would be tasked to share their report of how the elusive criminal "Phantom404" successfully avoided detection all this while.

Is this hackathon based on a true story?

No. All names, characters, business, events and incidents are the products of the developers' and committees' imaginations. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

What if I don't have enough members to form a team of 4 to 6 members?

Don't worry! You can sign up with the existing members that you have first (or just yourself) and indicate in the registration link that you are open to other members joining your team and vice versa, we'll help link your team up with others who are looking for a team!

Rules & Regulations?

No cheating (Copying flags from other teams, working together with other teams etc.)

No bad vibes (Rude attitude, using of profanities etc.)

The committee has the final say and disqualify or penalize your team if any of your team breaches the terms and conditions.
