Questions will appear for a fixed duration within designated time slices. Teams must solve the questions before they expire, with points awarded based on their performance.

Rules
  • Questions will be displayed for a fixed duration, and participants must submit their answers within the allotted time.
  • Each question will be available only during its designated time slice.
  • Participants may attempt the questions while they are active.
  • Points will be awarded based on the number of correctly solved questions.
  • Questions may vary in difficulty and cybersecurity domain.
  • Sharing answers or solutions with other teams is prohibited.
  • The organizers' decision regarding scoring, disputes, and rule violations will be final.
Tie Breaker

If multiple teams achieve the same score, the team that reaches the score first will be ranked higher.

Description

An auction-based cybersecurity challenge where teams compete to solve questions involving steganography, password decoding, and other cybersecurity domains. Each question will have a predefined base solving time. Teams must bid by offering a shorter time to solve the question. The team with the lowest valid bid will attempt the challenge within its committed time. Points will be awarded for successful solutions, with additional points for faster completion. Hints may be claimed using points available in the team's wallet.

Rules
  • Only teams qualifying from Round 1 may participate.
  • Each question will have a predefined base solving time.
  • Teams must bid a shorter solving time than the base time to participate in the challenge.
  • The team with the lowest valid bid will be given the opportunity to solve the question within its committed time.
  • Points will be awarded for successfully solving the question within the allotted time.
  • Points may be deducted if a team fails to solve the question within its committed time.
  • Additional points will be awarded to teams that solve challenges faster.
  • Hints may be claimed using the points available in the team's wallet.
  • Teams must have sufficient wallet points to claim hints.
  • Collaboration is permitted only within the registered team.
  • Sharing answers or solutions with other teams is prohibited.
  • The organizers' decision regarding scoring, bidding, disputes, and rule violations will be final.
Tie Breaker

If multiple teams achieve the same final score, the team that completes the challenges in the shortest total time will be ranked higher.

About the event

Codera is a two-round competitive programming event that pushes you from raw algorithmic speed to adaptive problem-solving. In the first round, teams race against the clock in an ICPC-style contest, tackling 4–5 problems of increasing difficulty under strict time and penalty pressure. Only top performing teams advance to Round 2, where the same coding and DSA fundamentals get put through a completely different test — a surprise challenge built to see how your team thinks, adapts and works together when the format itself becomes the puzzle. Codera rewards those who can code fast, think faster, and adapt when the rules of the game suddenly change.
