We’ll be contacting the captains of the winning teams this week to arrange prize delivery. We want to thank CTFd again for providing the scoreboard software. We also want to thank our partners at TryHackMe for sponsoring prizes for the top 3 teams. Finally, we want to give a huge thank you to everyone that participated in this year’s CTF!
