Do you want to be part of the Swedish National Hacking Team 2025? 🏆

This Friday, the Swedish National Hacking Team qualification round kicks off! 🚀 The top participants from the qualifier will advance to a final competition at Bosön, Lidingö, where the national team will be selected. The team will then represent Sweden in the European Cyber Security Challenge 2025, which this year will be held in Warsaw, Poland. 🌍

The competition will follow a CTF format, where you solve various challenges to earn points and climb the scoreboard. The challenges consist of programs and systems that you need to analyze and exploit to find flags! 🚩

Categories:

• Web - Hack vulnerable web applications 🌐
• Reverse Engineering - Analyze and understand programs 🕵️
• Pwn - Exploit binary vulnerabilities, e.g., buffer overflows 💥
• Crypto - Break weak cryptographic implementations (lots of math!) 🔑
• Misc - Everything else that doesn't fit into the other categories 🦜

Even if you've never played a CTF before, there will be some easier challenges to get you started. 🧸 If you've participated in dJulkalendern before, you'll recognize the format since the challenges follow the same structure as the windows. If you want to start practicing now, there are plenty of past challenges in Säkerhets-SMs problem archive.
