What’s Special About Our CTF?

Our CTF is accessible to everyone, whether you’re brand new to cybersecurity or a seasoned enthusiast. This event has zero knowledge requirements – just a curiosity to learn and explore! To welcome as many participants as possible, we’re hosting multiple sessions in the afternoon right after lunch. Can’t commit to a full session? No problem – we’ll keep open spots for drop-ins, so you can join whenever you’re ready.

Guided by the Experts

The event will be staffed by students from UIUC, and Texas A&M (what a combination!!) who are there to guide, answer questions, and show you the ropes. Our CTF is crafted as an interactive, no-stress experience, letting you dive into pen testing at your own pace.

Morning “Open Mike” CTF Session
Kick off your BSidesChicago experience by dropping by our morning “open mike” session! Think of it like a jazz tent at a festival – stop by, say hello, and get a taste of the CTF world before lunch and the afternoon sessions.
