HACKER'S ASYLUM
Hacker's Asylum is a two-round cybersecurity challenge designed to test participants across a variety of security domains. Teams will first compete in a classic Jeopardy-style Capture The Flag (CTF), solving independent challenges across multiple categories. The top teams will then advance to a themed, story-driven final round where they must solve a connected sequence of challenges while racing against other teams. Participants will be tested on skills such as web security, cryptography, reverse engineering, forensics, binary exploitation, OSINT, and other areas of cybersecurity.

Codolympics
About the event
Codolympics is a two-round flagship competitive programming event of the CSE Department. In the first round, participants take on logical puzzles to solve and solution hacking, where the goal is to break a given solution by finding the input it fails on. The second round is an auction-driven problem-solving contest: contestants bid for the problems they want using a limited pool of coins, earn points by solving what they buy, and spend their remaining balance on hints, shields and sabotages against rivals. Participants will be tested on skills such as data structures and algorithms, problem-solving speed, edge-case analysis and strategic decision-making under limited resources.
