Event

Sword of Secrets is a multi-stage hardware Capture the Flag platform designed for learning hands-on embedded hacking. In this workshop, participants will use the virtual Sword of Secrets, a fully simulated environment that mirrors the real device, allowing exploration of schematics, datasheets, firmware, and low-level behavior without physical hardware.

Participants will analyze the virtual system to identify attack surfaces, reason about firmware behavior, and solve selected challenge stages with guided support. The focus is on developing practical intuition and problem-solving skills rather than following step-by-step instructions, making the workshop suitable for curious beginners as well as experienced hackers.
