Win prizes with a total value of up to \u20ac35,000!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tokyo, Rio, Denver, Berlin - and now Bonn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On 12 October 2024, the aim of Germany's largest on-site capture-the-flag event in Bonn is to storm the House of Flags and collect all the flags. One hundred hackers from all over Germany will compete against each other in teams of up to four people to put their skills to the test!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you ready to storm the \"House of Flags\"?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In a world where information is the most valuable currency, evil forces have stolen secret information and stored it in a highly secure data centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only a group of outstanding hackers can recover this information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But time is pressing, because others will also do everything they can to be the first to obtain the information!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The house of flags<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At the heart of a highly secure virtual data centre, hidden from public view, are the world's most valuable digital flags. Each flag represents a challenge that only the most cunning hackers can solve. The Professor has recruited a team of the best IT security talents to overcome these almost insurmountable hurdles and capture the flags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A digitally secured fortress that no one has ever entered before is waiting to be conquered by the hackers. The aim is to find and secure all the flags before the security mechanisms stop them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With personalised laptops and customised operating systems (I use Arch), a targeted toolset and a perfectly thought-out strategy, the hackers will get to work. They penetrate protection mechanisms, decipher complex codes and navigate through the labyrinth of cybersecurity challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every flag they capture brings them closer to ultimate glory and recognition as the best IT security experts of their time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The team<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tokyo, Denver and Rio were yesterday! Today the team consists of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
