SUMMARY:International Battle of Hackers (IBOH) 2025
DESCRIPTION:Post-event resources \nStrengthening academic collaboration in Malaysia. \nIn November\, we teamed up with the Forensic & Cybersecurity Research Centre at Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation (APU / APIIT) in Malaysia as a prize sponsor for its International Battle of the Hackers (IBOH) competition. \nThe annual event provides a platform for participants to showcase their skills in solving real-world cybersecurity challenges\, fuel innovation in digital security\, and shape the next generation of cyber professionals. \nA huge congratulations to the winners and all who participated in the CTF competitions! We awarded CPSA exam vouchers to the top participants\, marking an encouraging step in their cybersecurity journey. \nThank you to our Malaysian Council Member\, Ts. Vikneswaran Kunasegaran\, for representing us at the event\, and to APIIT for the opportunity to partner and continue to drive meaningful industry-student engagement within the wider cyber community. \n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n  \n\n  \nWe are a CTF Prize Sponsor at the International Battle of Hackets (IBOH) 2025! \nAbout the event \nAPU Forensic & Security Research Centre – Student Section (FSec-SS) will be organising an International Battle of Hackers (IBOH) 2025\, a grand-scale 6-hour Capture the Flag (CTF) competition under Asia Pacific University (APU). IBOH 2025 will be held for two (2) Saturdays in two (2) separate stages. \nBOH is a prestigious cybersecurity competition that has evolved over the years in Malaysia and worldwide. This annual event provides a platform for participants to showcase their skills in solving real-world cybersecurity challenges\, ranging from cryptography and reverse engineering to real-world web application exploits and many others\, to promote cybersecurity awareness\, encourage innovation in digital security\, and nurture the next generation of cybersecurity professionals. \nThis year\, the Forensic and Cybersecurity Research Centre – Student Section (FSEC-SS) aims to take the BOH namesake to the next level by officially introducing an Attack & Defense (AD) style CTF. The AD-style CTF simulates a real-world environment of a blue and red team scenario\, whereby participants will need to exploit vulnerable machines belonging to other teams\, all while they defend against attacks from said teams. \nStage 1 (Jeopardy-Style) will remain the highlight of IBOH 2025\, as it is expected to attract over 280 teams and 800 participants from more countries this year. The top 10 winners of Stage 1 will be selected for Stage 2 (Attack & Defense). \nStage 1 (Jeopardy-Style) \nThe competition aims to offer an entry-level CTF competition for students to compete and connect with each other. Students from various universities and countries participated in this competition\, allowing international bonding and camaraderie. In stage 1\, a Jeopardy-style CTF will be featured alongside our official opening ceremony with our sponsor’s representative. At the end of the session\, prizes will be given to stage 1 winners\, and the closing ceremony will be conducted. The top 10 finalists from stage 1 will be informed to advance to stage 2. A buffer of 2 weeks will be taken before stage 2 commences. \n\nDate: 8 November 2025\nVenue: Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation (APU)\, Malaysia\n\nStage 2 (Attack & Defense) \nIn stage 2\, the top 10 finalists of stage 1 will participate in the Attack & Defense CTF\, which features offensive and defensive system security. The goal is to encourage players to identify and patch vulnerabilities within their systems while exploiting the vulnerabilities of other teams to gain points. \n\nDate: 29 November 2025\nVenue: Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation (APU)\, Malaysia\n\nSee you there!
