Student Competitions

eCTF – Embedded Capture the Flag

2020 Spring Semester Competition opens January 15 and closes April 10. Award Ceremony at MITRE on April 16
The eCTF is unique in two major ways. First, the focus is on securing embedded systems, which present an entirely new set of challenges and security issues that are not currently covered by traditional “online” CTFs. Second, this event balances offense and defense by including a significant secure-design phase in addition to an attack phase. This competition will help you develop practical skills that can be applied securing critical systems, such as medical devices, smart grids, IoT devices, and mobile devices.

FIU team eCTF teams has been formed and working towards a submission.
