Competition Features and Task Structure
The National CTF 2025 will serve as an international platform for professionals and enthusiasts in the field of cybersecurity. Participants will have the opportunity to test their skills across three levels of difficulty. The first level includes tasks related to cryptography, OSINT, and logic, allowing participants to assess their foundational knowledge in analysis, decryption, and open data collection. The second level focuses on intermediate web pentesting — identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities in web applications. The third, most challenging level, pertains to advanced pentesting: multi-stage exploitation, privilege escalation, and lateral movement.
Opportunities for Participants and Event Support
The format allows for both individual and team participation. Upon completion, all participants will receive certificates, while the winners will be awarded valuable prizes and special recognitions. The organizers emphasize that the CTF covers key areas of cybersecurity, including Web, OSINT, cryptography, forensics, reverse engineering, and other classic CTF competition categories.
Among the event sponsors are GigaCloud, WebbyLab, and Virgil Security, with the media partner being the crypto media outlet Incrypted. The competition is open to all interested parties, and registration has already begun.
