Capture The Flag (UNBCTF)
Email: unbctf@gmail.com
The UNB Capture The Flag club aims to provide students with an environment and resources to learn hands-on cybersecurity skills through participation in Capture The Flag challenges and group practice sessions. Capture The Flag is a style of hacking event where you have one goal: hack in and find the flag. Flags are placed in various locations -- they might be in a file, in the database, stuck into source code, or otherwise -- and your goal is to hunt them all down. Come and get your hack on!

Competitive programming is a mind sport that involves solving well-defined algorithmic and computational problems within set time limits. Participants leverage their problem-solving and programming prowess to tackle a range of problems, presented in online coding competitions or in-person contests. The primary objective is to solve as many problems as possible within the specified timeframe, with a focus on correctness, efficiency, and the elegance of code. We strive to cultivate problem-solving skills and algorithmic thinking among our members through regular practice sessions, competitions, and coding challenges. Our goal is to help members improve their problem-solving abilities and become adept at tackling complex computational problems reflexively.
