CTF@ETHzürich

CTF stands for Capture The Flag and is about solving computer science puzzles like exploiting applications (web, binary,...) or breaking encryption schemes. During weekly meetings (Mondays, 19:00, CAB H52), the committee and interested students learn how to solve these kinds of problems and how to get better at them. Feel free to join them any time!

What we do

We are a longstanding CTF team from ETH Zurich. Originally formed from gn00bz, we have now our own identity and history. Together with EPFL, we also like to play as organizers, ranked #1 worldwide in 2022.

We are always on the lookout for new members. If interested, please send us a Mail at ctf at vis.ethz.ch (from your ETH mail account).

We would like to hear from both experienced CTF players and beginners alike! Those of you who are new to CTFs, do not feel intimidated because being good at CTFs is just an acquired skill. All it takes is time, practice and some hair-loss (due to you pulling your hair out on that one especially hard problem).

The only prerequisite to joining the team is a passion towards computer security. All the knowledge needed, you can acquire by regularly attending the teams practice sessions.
