After a spectacular run by the Order of the Overflow, the Nautilus Institute is looking forward to bringing you the future of DEF CON CTF: three days of attack-defense action with sixteen of the best hacking teams in the world. Our teams will be reverse engineering, pwning, and pushing other hackers off their boxes in a head to head computing competition to directly demonstrate effective exploitation for the future.
How to Qualify
DEF CON CTF is a popular contest. Over 1200 teams played in DEF CON CTF Qualifiers in May, with over 200 solving two or more challenges. We qualified the top team from last year’s finals game, Katzebin, and fifteen of the top quals teams. Our competitors hacked their way through an ARM trustzone applet, dug deep into the Missouri Encryption Standard (base64, of course), and pieced together a flag by reverse engineering 24315 binaries for 16 different architectures.
Interested in bringing a team to DEF CON 31? Study up on previous DEF CON CTF challenges, perfect your techniques, and stay tuned for news about how to qualify for the 2023 contest.
Spectating CTF
Visit the CTF room to take in the ambience of the contest. CTF is a marathon, not a sprint, so the vibes in the room may shift as the contest progresses through Sunday.
Enjoy yourself, learn about the game, but please be respectful! The competitors have worked very hard to qualify, and distractions may not be appreciated.
If you have questions about CTF, members of the Nautilus Institute can probably help you with answers!

We’re excited to be making the world of DEF CON CTF a better place. As we grow, we hope to allow more disciplines to flex at CTF, and we hope you’ll be a part of that. Thank you to the CTF and DEF CON communities for this incredible opportunity, and we hope to build a brighter future for you all to break.
