What's a CTF?
A Capture The Flag (CTF) is a type of hacking competition where there are multiple challenges, and in each challenge, you have to hack and find a special value - the 'flag'. For this CTF, flags will look likewatctf{th1s_1s_n0t_4_r34l_fl4g} - that is, some text wrapped in watctf{}.
The CTF will run online from March 15th, 07:00:00 PM to March 16th, 07:00:00 PM. The challenges will be available here then!
The prize presentation and free pizza for UWaterloo students will happen at 3:30pm EST on Sunday, March 16th, in MC. (Room number TBD.)
