C3 - Cylab Cybersecurity Challenges

Cylab is hosting free cybersecurity coaching sessions!

Are you an IT student with a curious mind and a passion for learning? Whether you've got some CTF experience you want to sharpen, or you're completely new and just want to impress your friends with cool commands, we've got something for you!

Cylab is hosting free cybersecurity coaching sessions focused on hands-on, practical exercises. These sessions will help prepare you for the Cyber Security Challenge Belgium qualifications and finals, but more importantly, you'll gain a deeper understanding of cybersecurity beyond just CTF skills.
