Capture The Flag
Champions of Italy
What began as a handful of University of Bari students now competes year-round, builds original challenges, and holds the CyberCup national title.
What we practice.
CTFs span a handful of core disciplines. These are the ones we train hardest, each with the sub-skills and tooling that come up most often in competition.
Binary Exploitation
Turning memory corruption and logic flaws into control of a running process, from a first crash to a working shell.
Cryptography
Breaking schemes that lean on weak randomness, bad padding, or reused keys, and the protocol mistakes that undo good primitives.
Web Security
Chaining authentication flaws, injection, and access-control gaps to reach data and functionality that should be off-limits.
Reverse Engineering
Reading compiled binaries and custom formats, defeating obfuscation, and recovering the logic behind a program's behavior.
Digital Forensics
Reconstructing what happened from memory dumps, disk images, and captured traffic, then proving it with the artifacts.
Open-source Intelligence
Connecting public records, infrastructure clues, and social traces to identify the person, place, or system hidden in plain sight.

The result belongs to every person who trained, reviewed a solve, rebuilt infrastructure, and kept knowledge moving through the team.
