MinutemanCTF 2025 is the second edition of the UMass Cybersecurity Club's beginner-oriented hybrid CTF exclusive to UMass/Five College Students. The goal of the CTF is to teach introductory cybersecurity principles and other skills not often covered in traditional classes through cybersecurity puzzles and challenges. The in-person portions of the event will be happening in the LGRC, primarily room A112. We will be having a kickoff featuring members of CS faculty at 6 PM on Friday, and there will be having a number of panels and talks throughout the weekend from both faculty and companies, tentatively including Meta, Bugcrowd, Dell, Microsoft, Amazon and more! Winners of the CTF can expect to win up to $100 in prizes! There will be several prize brackets, including ones for teams of exclusively Freshmen, a raffle, and a writeup competition!

This event is open to beginners so feel free to participate without prior experience; this event is designed to help you learn!
