JerseyCTF is a beginner-friendly Capture the Flag competition that aims to inspire interest in cybersecurity. Organized by the NJIT Association for Computing Machinery, the NJIT Information and Cybersecurity Club, and the NJIT SCI Students program, it is geared towards students, beginners, and professionals alike. JerseyCTF provides participants with jeopardy-style questions in categories including cryptography, forensics, binary exploitation/reversing, open-source intelligence, and web exploitation. JerseyCTF features a track parallel to the CTF competition, consisting of presentations and panels with renowned speakers from industry and government.
Students, beginners, and professionals are all welcome to compete. Must be 18+ to attend in-person.
All you need is an Internet-connected device in order to compete and watch our tech talks. While optional, it is recommended for you to use penetration testing Linux distributions like Kali or Parrot OS because the many pre-installed tools will help you. These distributions are free, open-source, and can be deployed in VMware, VirtualBox, or any other virtualization software. Check out our beginner resources page for more recommendations.
