9th out of 209 teams. Solo.

An incredible result and great to hear the no-LLM rule made the CTF feel like old-school CTFing again.

Huge credit to the @sk8boardingdog crew for building such a strong competition this year.

I played skateboarding dog CTF 2026 alone and placed 9th out of 209 teams! I'm so glad a no-LLM rule was enforced; it's the closest I've last felt to playing CTFs in the pre-LLM era. Thanks to @sk8boardingdog and @BSidesCbr for holding this great event!

@fsharp123 @sk8boardingdog 9th out of 209 teams, solo… seriously impressive! Glad you enjoyed the no-LLM format. Huge credit to the Skateboarding Dog crew for putting together such a great CTF.

[BSidesCanberra @BSidesCbr]

@EmuExploit @sk8boardingdog @FrenchRoomba Congrats on 3rd! That was a seriously close finish. Thanks for being such a great part of BSides Canberra this year, see you in 2027!

[BSidesCanberra @BSidesCbr]

Congrats @EmuExploit on 3rd place in the BSides Canberra CTF! A close battle right to the end.

These legends donated last year’s CTF winnings to our Assistance Program, helping others get to BSides this year.

Thanks for being such a great part of our community! 💙💙

[Emu Exploit @EmuExploit]

🥉 3rd in BSides Canberra CTF! 🥉 Thanks to @sk8boardingdog for hosting and @BSidesCbr for the con. And of course @FrenchRoomba and SoberOstrich for the close competition. See you next year.

[BSidesCanberra @BSidesCbr]

@caseyjohnellis Couldn’t have asked for a better way to kick off Day 3. Richard absolutely brought it.

[BSidesCanberra @BSidesCbr]

@caseyjohnellis @kylieengineer @silviocesare @jack_daniel OI OI OI!

Thanks Casey, what a week. Absolutely blown away by this community. 💙

[BSidesCanberra @BSidesCbr]

Day 3. Let’s go.

An absolutely stacked speaker lineup today, plus the final push for both the CTF and Black Bag challenges.

Three days in and we’re not slowing down yet.

See you inside.

[BSidesCanberra @BSidesCbr]

@405ingularity The party understood the assignment.

[BSidesCanberra @BSidesCbr]

@dyn___ @caseyjohnellis @int0x80 Hah, yep. We’re the biggest BSides in the world now. Canberra got a little out of hand.

[BSidesCanberra @BSidesCbr]

@caseyjohnellis @m19o__ Yep! We’re the largest BSides in the world now. Still slightly surreal for a little con that started in Canberra in 2016.

[BSidesCanberra @BSidesCbr]

Talk yesterday, tooling already released.

Justin’s presenting his timing attacks research at BSides Canberra yesterday, and tturl is now open source. Very cool work from @justinsteven and @TantoSecurity

[shubs @infosec_au]

There's still some novel attack vectors that are only being operationalised now. @justinsteven is presenting on his research on timing attacks at @BSidesCbr today, and has released tturl as open source! https://t.co/Zg0VDmqI6d - Justin/Tanto have put a lot of work into this.

[BSidesCanberra @BSidesCbr]

@caseyjohnellis Day 2 absolutely flew by. Somehow we’re already onto the final day, thanks for joining us, Casey! 🙌

[BSidesCanberra @BSidesCbr]
