Pwn Till Dawn

PwnTillDawn is a concept developed by wizlynx group to bring fun to cyber security by gamifying the process of penetration testing and allowing people to learn & exercise their offensive skills. Our hope with PwnTillDawn is to inspire new generations to join our Cyber Security field, which greatly lacks needed talent.

PwnTillDawn’s original format (as we now call it PwnTillDawn Original) is an onsite computer penetration testing competition organized by wizlynx group, which is purely oriented around offensive security. During the Capture the Flag (CTF) event, participants evolve within a network comprised of many machines representing real life vulnerabilities witnessed by wizlynx group through real-life advanced penetration tests.

The PwnTillDawn Original CTF series challenges contestants to break into as many machines as possible, using a succession of weaknesses and vulnerabilities within a twelve-hour window. Upon the compromise of a machine, contestants will have to collect flags awarding a certain amount of points. At the end of the contest, the cyber warrior with the most points wins!

With the goal to reach even more people and allow them to not only learn but also have fun in a safe environment, wizlynx group decided to create PwnTillDawn Online Battlefield. This 100% online version allows anybody to practice their offensive security & penetration testing skills by discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities in various machines and hosts located in our penetration testing lab—anytime, anywhere.

But that’s not all! wizlynx group is regularly organizing insane 24H (or even 48H)/Non-Stop online competitions known as PwnTillDawn Online Battlefield Competitions where 50+ challengers from all over the world compete. Check the "Upcoming CTFs" section below to register for future competitions.
