The picoCTF 2026 competition from Carnegie Mellon University

The picoCTF 2026 competition from Carnegie Mellon University is currently underway (10 days), and you can still register:

I got a tip from one of the participants in case you haven't heard of it and need some more practice 😉. It seems to be very taff.

picoCTF is the largest cybersecurity hacking competition for middle school, high school, and college students. Participants aged 13 and older of all skill levels are encouraged to compete. Competitors must reverse-engineer, break, hack, decrypt, and think creatively and critically to solve the challenges and capture the digital flags.
