Computer & Network Security - Andover, Massachusetts, United States
PACTF charges teams of 1–5 to hack, decrypt, and do whatever it takes to solve increasingly challenging security puzzles. Our mission? Make cyber-security as fun—and educational—as possible.Unlike traditional learning approaches, PACTF has students learn by having them break vulnerable systems themselves. Teams face carefully designed problems, and on successfully execution of an attack, teams can submit proof called ‘flags' to our website for feedback, fun and points!Last spring, PACTF launched to over 1000 teams domestically and internationally, with over 700 solving a challenge and more than $3000 worth of prizes awarded to the top teams.Given its success, the contest will continue to will be hosted under the stewardship of Techmasters, an independent student organization (est. 1998).PACTF was inaugurally sponsored by the Abbot Academy Association, Carnegie Mellon University, Boston University, and other entities listed on our website.
