How It Works
The Cyber Cup -- an educational team competition -- aims to address real-world cyber tasks in a virtual setting. Each task requires participants to find a specific text sequence known as a "flag." Points are awarded based on the complexity of the task. A real-time scoreboard tracks the ongoing progress of participants. The team with the highest score at the end is declared the winner.
