Join DalCTF for an exciting Capture the Flag cybersecurity competition supported by ShiftKey Labs and Digital Nova Scotia.
Capture the Flag (CTF) competitions are hands-on cybersecurity challenges where participants solve digital puzzles, uncover hidden vulnerabilities, and race to capture “flags” hidden across a variety of technical challenges. Expect categories ranging from cryptography and web exploitation to digital forensics, networking, and OSINT.

Whether you’re trying a CTF for the first time or looking to sharpen your cybersecurity skills, this event is a chance to:

• Learn through hands-on problem solving
• Explore real-world cybersecurity concepts
• Connect with other students and professionals
• Compete for prizes and leaderboard bragging rights
• Discover opportunities in cybersecurity and tech

No prior competition experience required — curiosity and creativity are encouraged.
This event is hybrid but the prizes depend on whether you’re in person or virtual!
