CryptX 2.0 — where innovation meets challenge
Hackathon, Designathon, and Capture The Flag in one weekend — online preliminaries, an in-person Grand Finale on 4 April, and awards on 23 May.
CryptX 2.0 ran three competitions at once under one banner: a Hackathon, a Designathon, and a Capture The Flag. Preliminaries were held online so teams could compete from anywhere in the country, and only the Grand Finale was in person at the Faculty of Technology.
Three tracks, one weekend
Hackathon — teams of two to four take a real-world problem statement and ship working software under time pressure.
Designathon — teams of one to three solve a visual communication and user-experience brief and deliver a finished interface.
Capture The Flag — open entry, with challenges spanning web exploitation, cryptography, reverse engineering, and forensics.
