The dust has settled since we
won the epic battle against PALINDROME one year ago.
Peace
returned to cyberspace, but it was short-lived. Two months ago, screens turned
deathly blue, and the base went dark. When power returned, a mysterious entity
glitched to life on our monitors. No one knows where it came from or what it
plans to do.
Now, we're recruiting the grittiest, most innovative cybersecurity experts to track down the source. Time is critical—we need to identify the mastermind.
12 new CTF challenges await. Outwit the nation's brightest minds and code your way up to $30,000.
