Overview of Go Capture the Flag

Go Capture the Flag is a dynamic competition where teams compete to gather digital flags and submit them to the competition organizers. Participants strive to amass the highest number of points through coding or hacking challenges. The event was organized by experienced professionals in the cybersecurity and software consulting industry, who brought the concept of Capture the Flag to Go for Con. The objective was to provide a fun and engaging gaming experience for attendees, while also promoting learning and skill development. The challenges included a variety of tasks, ranging from solving math problems to exploiting vulnerabilities in third-party packages.
