🏆 Third time's the charm! Meet the #TheSAS2026 #CTF winners! 🥇 @BunkyoWesterns (Japan): Three consecutive SAS CTF finals, not a single podium finish in the previous two years. This time, they went straight for gold! 🥈 @_PwnSec_ (META region): Back for their second SAS CTF! After the first attempt, they learned from the experience, came back stronger, and secured a well-deserved spot in the top three! 🥉 CUT (Russia): The newcomers from Central University pulled off quite a comeback! They were the first to crack the new no-internet, no-AI challenge, leaving other teams struggling to catch up. And after sitting in 4th place when the scoreboard froze, they fought their way into the top three in the final hour. Huge congratulations to our champions and all 14 teams for a day of serious hacking and glorious chaos! 👾

Human experts argued augmentation was dangerous. That a mystical spark deep within tissue fades. Dies with augmentation. Cyborgs marched with unbent determination, oblivious to the human call. Progress can not be stopped. Choose your side: pwnsec.ctf.ae

Back in 2026, Humans - characterized by ingenuity, intuition and inexplicable curiosity - were facing an impending threat, unlike anything they had ever seen. The Cyborgs. Choose your side: pwnsec.ctf.ae
