Hello and welcome to “Maina Hack” – a Capture the Flag (CTF) cybersecurity competition held via the EDIH Trakia cyber range as part of the European Digital Innovation Days at the International Technical Fair in Plovdiv.
If you would like to participate in “Maina Hack,” registration for the competition is now open at https://ctf.dihtrakia.org.
What’s next?
🔹On 24.09.2025 (Wednesday) at 12:00 p.m., 15 target machines will become available to all participants via “Targets” at ctf.dihtrakia.org. Fifteen targets will be announced, which you will need to complete in order to earn points. Each target will be worth a certain number of points depending on its level of difficulty.
🔹On 26.09.2025 (Friday) at 14:00, VPN access to the CTF will be restricted to participants present at the Trakia Digital Innovation Hub office at 2 Drava Street in Plovdiv. Between 14:00 and 16:30, five new targets will be announced, which you can complete for you to get more points. They will only be available locally, so plan to visit us on site!
🔹 The contest will end on 26.09.2025 at 16:30. The winner with the most points accumulated during the contest will receive the grand prize. If there are participants with an equal number of points, the winner will be selected by drawing lots.
Participation in the competition is free of charge thanks to the CYBER4All STAR project, funded by the European Union’s Digital Europe program and project No. BG16RFPR002-1.001-0003 under the PNIIDIT 2021-2027 program.
