About the Event
Sudocrypt v16.0 is an annual international Capture the Flag competition now in its sixteenth edition. The virtual event runs for 36 hours and requires participants to compete in teams of three. Challenges span code breaking, cryptography and broader CTF problem types, testing both technical knowledge and collaborative problem solving under time pressure.
Challenge Categories
The competition focuses on practical cybersecurity and cryptography skills through hands-on challenges. Participants work through CTF scenarios, cryptographic puzzles and code breaking exercises designed to bridge theoretical knowledge with applied techniques. The format emphasizes teamwork and real-time problem solving across multiple challenge types.
Who Should Attend
Sudocrypt v16.0 is open to participants at all skill levels. The competition is particularly suited to high school, undergraduate and graduate students, as well as security researchers, developers and members of technology clubs. Teams from educational institutions and independent groups can participate, making it accessible to both established CTF players and newcomers looking to develop their cybersecurity capabilities in a competitive environment.
