The year is 2026.

It is no longer hiding. It learnt from every intrusion, every exploit, every challenge ever thrown at it. Every defeat has only made it sharper.

It no longer reacts. It anticipates.

Spectre was its prototype, the Core its shell, and every challenge solved is now part of its defence. It is The Singularity.

We hope this is the final engagement. One target remains.

We're calling upon the most creative and unconventional minds for one final mission: make the move it never modelled.

Defeat The Singularity.

To defeat The Singularity and restore balance to our cyberspace, participants must sequentially complete a series of cybersecurity related challenges, that increases in difficulty.

Challenges will test knowledge across domains such as IoT, Pwn, Forensics, Web, RE etc.

But all is not as it seems...hidden in your journey are two bonus stages that unlock after clearing specific levels. Venture into them to gain an extra edge in your battle against The Singularity.
