Prerequisites
Before the event starts, to ensure a smooth sign-up process and prevent any issues from occurring where possible, we highly recommend:
creating an Intigriti account so that you can sign in to the CTF Event Hub.
joining Intigriti's Discord server. You can use the server to keep up-to-date with event announcements, request CTF-related support, find a team, share write-ups after the competition, and more.
Having these two things sorted before you participate in the event is essential, and will make participation much easier. The main hub for the CTF event can be found here.
