An AI-assisted web engineering competition. Every team gets the same brief, then plans, designs, builds, deploys and presents a working application — and adapts to a requirement change mid-competition. Scored out of 100 across seven categories.
Three hours, four attack vectors: cryptography, web, forensics and
OSINT. Teams of two to three, difficulty scaled Very Easy through
Insane, flags submitted as ACM{…} against a
live scoreboard. Auditorium B105, 10:00–13:00.
The previous edition, in full: 11 teams, 16+ challenges, 852 flag submissions at a 10.4% solve rate, and a final leaderboard topped by HZ on 3,800 points. Includes per-challenge solve notes and the official competition report.
Students, Alumni and COOP teams under one call, run in term 252 under the patronage of the Dean of CCIS. Four themes — education, healthcare, security and sustainability — screened on proposal, then judged across a poster round and a jury pitch, with more than SAR 9,000 in prizes.
Three days that walk through the exact workflow used on competition day: planning and requirements, full-stack build and systematic debugging, then deployment, domains, search indexing and PageSpeed measurement. Developed and taught by Shoug Alomran.
Preparation sessions across the four competition categories — web exploitation, applied cryptography, digital forensics and intelligence gathering — so first-time competitors arrive with a working toolkit. Titles and instructors to be announced.
