What is Advent of Cyber?

Advent of Cyber is an event that gets people started in cyber security, by releasing beginner friendly security exercises every day leading up to Christmas.

We know that security can be a daunting field, and can be difficult for beginners to get started. Advent of Cyber helps you kick start your security journey.

For 24 days we release tasks breaking down common security topics into byte-sized walkthroughs and challenges.

Each task is self contained and includes the basic information required to start working on a security challenge - We won't be throwing you in the deep end, every challenge will contain supporting material and a video tutorial!

Prizes

Total Prize Pool Value: $40,024
