DIVISION X MINI CTF

Step into a battlefield of realistic cyber security challenges featuring attack chains, supply chain compromises, adversarial thinking, and real-world inspired scenarios. Success won’t come from finding a single vulnerability—it will come from thinking like an attacker, chaining exploits together, and outsmarting the system.

BLACKOUT PROTOCOL

Night Shift is a defender-focused cybersecurity competition that places students in realistic incident response scenarios. Teams analyze logs, SIEM alerts, packet data, and endpoint evidence to detect, investigate, and explain real-world attacks.
