Kernelcon CTF 2026: Mad Max

Our annual Kernelcon Capture the Flag roars back stronger than ever, throwing competitors into a post-apocalyptic digital wasteland where only skill, grit, and community keep the engines running. This year, it’s all about the Tribe—your war rig, your crew, your family—banding together to survive the ruins of broken systems, dead code, and hostile networks. Battle through challenges in web hacking, reversing, pwning, cryptography, and more as you scavenge Flags from the ashes and climb the Thunderdome leaderboard. The competition will be brutal, the exploits unforgiving, and only one crew will ride eternal, earning the coveted Eternal Kernel badges. Do you have the rig to survive the wasteland? If so, witness us at Kernelcon CTF.
