Ever wondered what it actually feels like to breach a network and try not to get caught?

Operation Blackout is a live, hands-on capture-the-flag challenge where you step into the attacker's seat. You're in the building, laptop hooked into their network. Next task: access their surveillance server.

The stealthiest person wins. Bring your own tools, your own tactics, even your own AI agents, and see how far stealth gets you against a system built to notice everything. Come to compete or come to learn.
