A dynamic and challenging competition

The competition was held in a team-based format, with each team consisting of four members working together to solve real-world challenges in computer networks and information security. Teams had only 25 minutes to analyze the problem, propose solutions and implement it on actual devices or simulation software.

The competition atmosphere was consistently energetic and thrilling. Students had to work closely together, share ideas, and make the most of their time to complete the tasks. Challenges related to IP configuration, system security, and network troubleshooting posed considerable difficulties but also served as a precious opportunity for teams to demonstrate their logical thinking and problem-solving abilities.
