Objective:
The Cipher Tech Challenge is an online cybersecurity challenge for students and professionals interested in a career in forensic software development. Over the course of a 2-week period, you will encounter challenges that will have you perform the same tasks that forensic software developers do every day. Questions will prompt for free response (e.g. submit an IP address or identify the attacker's name) and challenge your critical thinking skills.

First place will win an iPad with the rest of the top 10 participants taking home a battery pack! There will also be a raffle for a pair of Apple Airpods for those that participate. You may not receive any assistance from anyone else. You must participate within the event time frame listed above.

Resources
All that you need to participate in the Cipher Tech Challenge is a computer with an Internet connection and a modern browser (latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge). An installation of Kali Linux is recommended to get the full experience, but it is not required. During the challenge, you will need to utilize your problem-solving skills and Internet resources to solve challenges related to forensic software development.
