TraceBash 2026

weight 25.00 CTFtime official repo

Welcome to TraceBash CTF 2026, organized by Team TraceBash, a globally ranked cybersecurity team dedicated to fostering learning, collaboration, and competition among cybersecurity enthusiasts worldwide.

We've hidden secrets in places they probably shouldn't be. Some are buried inside web applications, some are locked behind cryptography, some are hiding inside binaries, and a few are simply waiting for someone curious enough to ask the right questions.

Expect fun challenges, weird ideas, and plenty of those satisfying "oh, that's clever" moments. Bring your tools, but don't forget your reasoning — you'll need both and Trust me ! your AI is not ready for this...

Whether this is your first CTF or your hundredth, we hope you'll enjoy the chase.
