IdentiCode — National-Level IAM CTF
EVENT OVERVIEW
Identity is at the heart of modern security — and attackers are constantly looking for ways to compromise it. Yet IAM is the one category almost no CTF bothers to test. IdentiCode closes that gap. Twenty-four hours, entirely focused on IAM and SSO security. Analyse vulnerabilities, crack challenges, capture flags, and compete against participants from across the country on a live leaderboard. No filler categories. Every challenge lives where authentication, authorisation and federation break.
