About this opportunity

An online capture-the-flag challenge for Singapore citizens, run by CSIT every year since 2020. You play alone through a chain of increasingly difficult challenges in areas such as web, forensics, reverse engineering, binary exploitation and IoT, logging in whenever you like during the nine-day window. The 2026 edition offered cash prizes for the top five finishers and exclusive collectibles. The challenges are hard, so some programming and cybersecurity experience helps.

How to apply

Register online at the TISC site, logging in with Singpass (MyInfo). For 2026, registration opened on 11 August and stayed open until an hour before the end; the challenge ran 11 to 20 September. 2027 dates not yet announced.
