Capture the Flag w. DalCTF!

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
