About

SIGINT is proud to present pwnEd 7, the 7th edition of our infosec conference and CTF for UK university students. The CTF will follow a quals/finals format, where qualifying teams will be invited to the in-person finals hosted at our Edinburgh campus.

Combining a highly technical conference together with a CTF across two days, with two tracks of talks from industry leading professionals, researchers, academics and top CTF players, pwnEd is the perfect opportunity to learn, network and compete.

Whether you're a seasoned CTF player, new to the game, or just simply looking to solve a challenge, you won't want to miss it.

In-Person Finals and Conference

The event will consist of our conference on day one, followed by our Capture the Flag (CTF) finals on day two.
