Call for CTF

This is the Call for CTF (Capture The Flag) for the 10th edition of BruCON.

On the off chance you don’t know BruCON (where have you been?). This year we host a 3-day Security and Hacking Conference full of interesting presentations, workshops and security challenges for about 600 attendees. BruCON is an open-minded gathering of people discussing computer security, privacy, and information technology. The conference tries to build bridges between the various actors active in the computer security world including (but not limited to) hackers, security professionals, security communities, non-profit organisations, CERTs, students, law enforcement agencies, and many more.

The conference will be held in Ghent on 3, 4 and 5th of October 2018.
