What is CPTC?
See the official overview for a full description.
The Collegiate Penetration Testing Competition (CPTC) is an event in which teams conduct a simulated penetration testing engagement that includes:
- Pentesting a network
- Completing business injects
- Writing a report
- Delivering a presentation (at finals)
Every year, a new theme is chosen along with a fictional organization that will be pentested.
