Competitions
Back to About UsHack@UCF participates in both offensive and defensive security across our two teams, KnightSec and the UCF Collegiate Cybersecurity Competition (C3) Team.
KnightSec
KnightSec is our club's cyber competition team, which competes in capture-the-flag (CTF) competitions year-round and smaller defensive competitions like NCAE CyberGames, HiveStorm, and more. All Hack@UCF members are able to participate in these competitions; no try-outs or prior experience required.
For those getting into cybersecurity, CTFs allow you to practice your offensive security (red team) skills in a safe, legal, and gamified environment.
