Hi everyone!
We're still there (hopefully, you are as well). And we got some big news.

We're conducting RuCTF Finals on 22 April!
And we are inviting all the top teams from RuCTFs 2021 and 2022. We'll contact every team personally, so don't forget to check your email boxes any time soon!

We missed you.

RuCTF Finals 2023, an international student A/D CTF, will take place on April 22nd!

First time in the post-COVID-19 era we will finally have a luxurious OFFLINE venue in the style of a Venetian classic art gallery. The Teatro Veneziano Concert Hall can accommodate 20 teams on-site. We will also provide a separate category for online participants.

This year, we invite in Yekaterinburg teams that made it to the top of RuCTF 2021 or RuCTF 2022. The list of invited teams can be found here.

Even if you are not participating as a team, but are able to come to Yekaterinburg, join us as a guest! There will be plenty of activities. While teams are competing, guests could visit talks on various technical topics and more.

- You will learn to estimate password complexity using machine learning.
- You will meet a professional profiler and see a demonstration of reading and interpreting body language.
- Most importantly, you will meet skilled IT/IB specialists and be able to exchange experiences with them.

Anyone can register and become our guest. Places are limited!

If you are from Russia and need a formal invitation or any other assistance organizing your trip, please contact @AAAlexeev - we will try to help.

Teams and competition guests provide travel and accommodation on their own. However, there is an opportunity to book a hotel in Yekaterinburg on the Yandex Travel site. We have prepared a promo code RUCTF-FINALS-2023 for you, which gives a 10% discount (but not more than 5,000 rubles). It will stay valid until April 22nd.

RuCTF will take place at Teatro Veneziano Concert Hall — Yekaterinburg, ул. Розы Люксембург, 4.
You will find the event schedule here.
See you soon!
