Mārtiņš The Wizard is summoning all magical creatures to his great Capture The Flag Challenge!
Mārtiņa CTF: Hackers of Hexes and Checksums.
Gather your coven (2–5 hackers) for 48 hours of magical mayhem, binary sorcery, and questionable sleep schedules. Your challenge: capture flags hidden throughout the realm.
No prior arcane knowledge required. Just curiosity, persistence, and perhaps an unhealthy amount of mana potions (caffeine).
On the final day, we'll emerge from our dungeons and towers for an optional in-person gathering to celebrate, share stories, and crown this year's champions.

Will you answer the summon? ^v^
You ponder: Why should I participate in Mārtiņa-CTF?
A Spellbook Full of Challenges!
From cryptography and reversing to web, forensics, pwn, and everything in between. First CTF or fiftieth, there are challenges worth tackling-including plenty for beginners.
Glory!
Survive, conquer, and your name won’t just hit the scoreboard-it’ll live on in CTF lore (and look great on your resume too).
Rewards!
The best teams won't leave empty-handed. Expect cool prizes, event swag, and everlasting fame.*
*Everlasting fame not legally guaranteed.
Whimsy!
We promise a “good time,” which could mean anything from mild frustration to existential dread. You’ll probably enjoy it!
Meet Fellow Wizards!
The CTF is online, but on the final day we'll have an optional in-person meetup. Come hang out, talk about the challenges, and finally meet Mārtiņš!
