Why is there a registration fee?

Running an in-person competition like this costs a lot of money, upwards of $3,000!. Costs for food, shirts, prizes, and infrastructure all adds up.

We are currently evaluating catering options. We will try our best to accommodate dietary restrictions.

Can I use AI and LLMs?

You are allowed to use free or self-hosted models. No paid models, please.

Is there any special software I need?

We recommend installing VMWare Workstation/Fusion Pro and using the pre-built Kali virtual machine for VMware.
