HACKNIGHT 1.0

MMU · Feb 6 to 7, 2026

Hacknight 1.0, first of its kind at MMU

Beginner-friendly CTFs across web exploitation, stego, network forensics, crypto, OSINT, and misc, hosted on Cyber Sensei’s platform. Sixty-plus students filled the room.

Leads stayed on the floor all night: mixing gurus with beginners, freezing the scoreboard at 4:30am, then running creator walkthroughs until sunrise. Writeups went out on Medium. Merch and VIP memberships for the winners.

  • Custom CTF platform + challenge authoring
  • Balanced teams so beginners learn mid-competition
  • Refreshments, awards, and dawn photo finish
  • Immediate walkthroughs, not “figure it out later”

That is the bar: not only challenges, but operators who ship results in the wild, sharing tradecraft while students are still in the fight.
