ASD CTF 2024

The ASD-ANU Co-Lab CTF is back! Australian students with curious and creative minds are invited to join us for 24 hours of fun solving Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges and puzzles in the ASD CTF competition!

This year our theme is "Time Travel". Test your problem solving skills by solving challenges created by staff from the Australian Signals Directorate. Just like careers at ASD the topics are varied and include:

  • Cryptography
  • Languages
  • Programming
  • Open Source Intelligence
  • Computer Security
  • Puzzles
  • And more!

Students in Canberra, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth who are Australian citizens and are at least 18 years of age are invited to join us to play in person, and for a panel discusson after the competition ends where you can learn more about how the challenges relate to careers at ASD.

Under 18? No problem, you can still play online and tune in virtually to the opening ceremony and prize giving.
