Magnet Virtual Summit Capture the Flag Powered by Hexordia Weekly Cipher Challenge
Get ready to test your digital forensics and reverse engineering prowess before the Magnet Virtual Summit Capture the Flag main event! We’re launching the Weekly Cipher Challenge, a series of high-stakes, bite-sized challenges specifically designed to warm you up for the full Capture the Flag (CTF) competition at the Magnet Virtual Summit. This is your chance to not only sharpen your core forensics skills but also to delve into the intricate world of reverse engineering and problem-solving, all while competing with peers across the globe.
Starting this week, we will release one new, expertly crafted cipher challenge every Thursday exclusively on our dedicated CTFd platform. Our team of expert challenge writers has ensured a broad range of difficulty, spanning from introductory, easy-to-solve puzzles to highly complex, hard-level brain teasers. Each challenge is a unique opportunity to grow.
The true value of participation goes beyond the challenge itself. Every problem you solve and every flag you successfully capture will be an essential piece of preparation for the main event. Crucially, the answers to these weekly challenges are designed to lead you to specific forensic resources that will directly help you understand the artifacts and evidence you’ll encounter in the primary CTF competition. This ensures your practice is directly applicable and provides a competitive advantage.
Additionally, the points you gain from successfully completing these Weekly Cipher Challenges will count towards your total score in the main Capture the Flag event! This pre-competition scoring system means that every challenge you successfully solve is a significant step forward, giving you a tangible competitive edge before the main CTF even officially begins. Do not miss this chance to build a substantial lead.
There will be a total of six ciphers released sequentially as the Magnet Virtual Summit approaches, with the final challenge dropping just before the main competition starts. Don’t delay! Secure your spot in the competition and start earning points today. Register now for the CTF on both the MVS official website and the CTFd board! We look forward to seeing your problem-solving skills in action.
