WP CTF 2024: Another Successful Edition!

The 2024 edition of the WP CTF has ended, and we are thrilled to announce its resounding success! This year, approximately 80 participants formed teams from across Europe, including Greece, Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands.

Staying true to tradition, WP CTF 2024 featured a Jeopardy-style competition with diverse categories such as AI, Cryptography, OSINT, Web, Reversing, PWN, and Misc. Each category offered challenges spanning a range of difficulties, ensuring an engaging experience for participants of all skill levels.

The challenges were meticulously crafted throughout the year by our internal teams, taking inspiration from real-world vulnerabilities encountered in professional projects. To ensure top-notch quality, we organized a security workshop a few weeks before the event, where team members tested each other’s challenges, provided feedback, and finalized adjustments

After the competition ended and the winners were celebrated, all challenges and their writeups were published on GitHub. This allowed participants to compare their solutions, gain new insights, and find inspiration to enhance their skills. A networking session followed, where participants and challenge creators exchanged ideas, discussed feedback, and shared suggestions for future editions. The event wrapped up with an after-party, celebrating the shared passion for cybersecurity.

It has been incredibly rewarding to witness the growth of a vibrant, young community passionate about cybersecurity. Each year, this enthusiasm continues to expand, creating an inspiring and ever-evolving space for learning and innovation.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated, and we can’t wait to see you at next year’s edition!
