WELCOME: ADWA CTF 🇪🇹💻

Selam to all tech minds & puzzle lovers!

ADWA CTF - Ethiopia’s first ever dedicated CTF (Capture The Flag) challenge platform. Born from a love of hacking, problem solving, and
sharing knowledge, we’re here to spark the next wave of cybersecurity talent in Ethiopia.

Who are we?
A crew of ethical hackers, programmers, and challenge creators who believe in learning through doing and a little bit of fun.

What we do?
Design original CTF challenges from binary analysis to web exploitation, cryptography, and more.
Host Ethiopia’s first homegrown CTF platform.
Build a community where skills grow, minds sharpen, and cyber warriors.

Why “traditional vibes”?
Because while we’re pushing boundaries in the digital world, we carry our roots
with pride. Think injera + 0day, coffee + code blending heritage with hacking.

Are you ready to crack, code, and claim your flag? 🏴‍☠️
