IRL: picoCTF Pairing
PicoCTF 2026 is over, but Weekly Dev Chat is keeping the fun going with another IRL Pairing event!
Join your fellow developers/hackers for an evening of pairing on picoCTF challenges. For experienced CTFers and newbies alike. Bring your computer, your white hacker hat, and a desire to learn and/or help others.
For those that don't know, Capture the Flag (CTF) is finding a string "flag" in vulnerable programs, websites, etc. They are a great hands-on way to learn about cyber security.
It is recommended that you create your free picoCTF account before you arrive. Learn more about picoCTF here:
