Date: November 16–22, 2024 Format: Jeopardy (two parallel tracks + training) Tracks: High School + Undergraduate + Training
The 2024 iCTF continued the dual-track structure introduced in ictf23, offering separate High School and Undergraduate competitions running simultaneously on CTFd. A training track — reusing a selection of ictf23 challenges — helped newcomers warm up before the main event.
The challenge mix expanded the machine-learning category (adversarial AI, model extraction, and backdoor analysis) while returning to classic categories: web exploitation, binary pwn, forensics, and programming.
