New Year CTF 2025

We are students of the Department of System Programming and Computer Security of the Grodno State University, Grodno, Belarus. This is a competition for beginners, students and everyone. Tasks of different categories - beginner, crypto, forensics, misc, OSINT, ppc, pwn, rev, web. Teams from 1 to 4 people play. We hope that all participants will be able to apply their skills and usefully spend the cold winter time (for us, at point 53.685071680464404, 23.83997784685444, this is really so).

Why is the New Year's STF held on January 12-14? Because our Republic of Belarus is located on the border of Western and Slavic civilizations. For this reason, there are 2 holidays in Belarus called "Christmas" (December 25 and January 7). And also 2 holidays "New Year" - January 1 and 14.

At the same time, this is the time of the session. And we believe that such a period will allow students to take a break from studying, without torturing themselves with unnecessary cramming.

We have been holding the "New Year's Quest" and other CTF competitions for almost 10 years. And it is always very pleasant when we have many not only Belarusian, but also international participants who want to get to know our beautiful country.

The sponsors of the competition are Belarusian and international IT companies.
