PwnSec CTF 2026

Organized by PwnSec

The line between human and machine got blurry. Some people think augmentation costs you something; that there's a part of solving a challenge by hand, at 3am, half-guessing, that a script can't replicate. Others think that's romantic nonsense, the flag doesn't care how you got there. This year you pick a side before the board opens. Humans solve clean, no AI, just you and the challenge. Cyborgs
