Capture the Flag w. DalCTF!
June 6 - June 7
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
- Explore real-world cybersecurity concepts
- Connect with other students and professionals

No prior competition experience required — curiosity and creativity are encouraged.
This event is hybrid but the prizes depend on whether you’re in person or virtual!
