Overview: Think like an attacker. Defend like a professional. Step into Breach Point, a high-intensity cybersecurity challenge at AXIOS’26, where investigation, exploitation, and defense come together. Across two challenging rounds, participants will uncover hidden threats, capture flags, exploit vulnerabilities, and defend their systems against relentless attacks.
Cash Prize: ₹17,500 Round 1 —
Signal Zero: Three dead systems just woke up after a decade of silence, broadcasting the same six words: “We have already tried this once.” Step into a Jeopardy-style CTF told through an unfolding investigation. Chase down who built ECHO, uncover how it is moving through the wires, and investigate why its predictions keep coming true. Every flag you capture reveals another layer of the mystery, bringing you closer to the truth hidden in plain sight. Round 2 —
Red vs Blue: An intense Attack-Defence CTF where teams must patch and defend their own vulnerable systems while simultaneously breaching their opponents’ infrastructure to plant flags. Balance offense and defense as you exploit vulnerabilities, secure your systems, and adapt to your opponents’ attacks. One weak point is all it takes to leave your infrastructure exposed. Investigate. Exploit. Defend. Dominate.
