# BSidesSF CTF 2026

Welcome back to BSidesSF CTF, this year marks our 10 year anniversary! You can register to play at https://ctf.bsidessf.net/register. We have Crypto, Forensics, Web, Mobile and Pwn challenges spread across all difficulty levels.

## Game details

The game will run for 48 hours:

* Start: 2026-03-20 16:00:00 PDT (2026-03-20 23:00:00 UTC)

* Stop: 2026-03-22 16:00:00 PDT (2026-03-22 23:00:00 UTC)

## Note:

* Teams must have an on-site presence to claim prizes.

* No limit to team sizes. (It'd be unenforceable anyway.)

* Scoring is dynamic, the amount of points the challenge is worth will reduce over time as the challenges get more solves (as a result, your score may go down over time as other solve the same challenges as you)

* Onsite challenges are worth 0 points and will not affect team standings (lockpicking). But you will get cool stickers and candy!
