No, you don’t need to participate in all challenges to compete in Hackerverse CTF. However, participating in more challenges increases your chances of climbing the leaderboard and qualifying for End of Season awards.
Most challenges from earlier in the season remain accessible for players to solve and earn points. However, Offensive Security Challenges are only available during the month they are released.
Points to Remember:
To maximize your chances of success, monitor communication channels and participate every month. Early engagement is key to climbing the leaderboard and claiming grand prizes!
Challenges cover a variety of industry-relevant skills, including:
Our dynamic scoring system rewards both skill and speed. The faster you solve challenges, the more points you earn.
Initial challenge points range from 10 to 500, based on difficulty and category.
Initial: The starting point value
Decay: Number of solves before reaching minimum points
Minimum: The lowest possible point value
value = (((minimum - initial) / (decay ** 2)) * (solve_count ** 2)) + initial value = math.ceil(value)
If the calculated value falls below the minimum, the minimum value is used instead.
This system ensures higher-value challenges keep their worth longer, unlike linear or exponential methods. It rewards precision and timing, keeping the competition fair and exciting.
Hackerverse CTF is designed for individual participants. Teams or collaborations are not permitted to ensure fair competition.
