Event Information
On the 26th of February, we will be welcoming the largest defence contractor in Europe, BAE Systems. They will be hosting a renouned Capture the Flag event, offering loads of cool challenges, prizes, and free pizza! This is a team-based challenge for teams of 2 to 6 players. If you don’t have a team yet then don’t worry – come along anyway as teams will be created on the day. The challenges will involve breaking into vulnerable websites, cracking ciphers, forensic searches, reverse engineering and much more. No previous experience of these kinds of challenge is necessary; they are designed for students who like taking things apart and seeing how they work.
The event will start at 9:30 and finish at 16:30, with lunch and snacks provided by BAE. They will be around all day to provide hints and tips on the challenges and are happy to discuss careers in cyber security and software engineering in BAE Systems Applied Intelligence. If you’re interested please send us an email and sign up!
