In two weeks, one of the most gruelling security challenges returns to the Middle East! As part of Hack in the Box’s (HITB) return to Dubai after an 8-year gap, the HITB Security Conference will be bringing back a wide range of free to the public hacking games and challenges, including its ever-popular HITB Capture The Flag (CTF) competition.

HITB’s CTF competition will see over 20 international teams battle it out in Dubai on 27 and 28 November at the kick off leg for the 2019 HITB CTF competition series which will continue at HITB’s 10th year anniversary event in Amsterdam next year, and then at HITB GSEC in Singapore and beyond.

Winning teams from each HITB CTF competition are flown to compete in the next leg of the game. For this November’s kick off CTF in Dubai, winners from both HITB’s 2018 Amsterdam and Beijing 2018 XCTF-Finals will be flown in to participate. The upcoming HITB CTF in Dubai is also an ideal opportunity for UAE’s local security talents to show off their skills alongside and against some of the world’s top-ranked players.

In addition to the professional-level CTF game, HITB will also be hosting an edu-level CTF competition for undergraduate and high school students. Aimed at motivating UAE’s younger talent, the edu CTF is a team-based, jeopardy-style competition that runs over 2-days on 27 and 28 November. The contest features both attack and defense oriented challenges involving reverse engineering, web penetration, crypto, forensics, network analysis and more.
