As mhackeroni, we’re excited to announce our role as challenge authors for Ctrl+Space CTF 2025 - the first European Capture-the-Flag competition played on real satellites orbiting Earth!
This groundbreaking competition is a joint mission by the European Space Agency (ESA), D-Orbit and our team, bringing together leaders in space operations and cybersecurity to create exciting hacking challenge.
How It Works#
The competition will take place in two stages:
