Official Start: 11 November 2026 @ 2:00 PM IST (E Block, 4th Floor)
CYBER DEBUG is a high-intensity cybersecurity debugging competition where teams race against time to identify, analyze, and neutralize security vulnerabilities across multiple challenge domains.
Face actual cybersecurity challenges drawn from real-world attack patterns and vulnerabilities.
Work in a 3-person squad — divide and conquer challenges using each member's strengths.
From cryptography to incident investigation — 5 distinct challenge categories test every skill.
Bring your laptop — challenge statements and files are provided. No pre-existing projects needed.
NOTE: Participants must bring their own laptops. Organisers provide all challenge statements and files. No GitHub repository or pre-existing project is required.
A structured, time-boxed cybersecurity challenge designed to push your debugging skills to the limit.
Register your 3-member team. Entry fee of ₹50 per person must be paid during registration.
Challenge statements and required files are distributed to all teams simultaneously.
Teams work through 5 challenge categories. Points are awarded based on accuracy, speed, and methodology.
Teams submit their findings and solutions. No further changes accepted after submission time.
Each category tests a distinct cybersecurity skillset. Master them all to claim the top spot.
Identify and fix intentionally introduced bugs, logic errors, and security flaws in provided source code across multiple languages.
