How it Works
The Cyber Cup aims to address real-world cyber tasks within a virtual setting. Each task requires participants to find a specific text sequence known as a "flag." Points are awarded based on the complexity of the task. The competitor with the highest score by the conclusion is declared the winner. A real-time scoreboard tracks the ongoing progress of participants.
