CTFs connect teams from all over the world in a peaceful competition. However, this year's FAUST CTF is overshadowed by the war in Ukraine. With the lives of civilians on the line, we believe in a peaceful resolution to this conflict and hope that the people in Ukraine can return to normalcy soon.
We want to remind everyone of our Social Conduct. We do not tolerate harassment of any form, and violating these rules may result in a ban from our competition.
FAUST CTF is an online attack-defense CTF competition run by FAUST, the CTF team of Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg. Its seventh edition will take place on 9 July 2022.
