🎯 Triple CTF Weekend in Copenhagen! 🇩🇰💥

This weekend, @KalmarunionenDM gathered physically for another meetup at Eupry in Copenhagen for an intense and fun-filled hacking meetup - joined by several of our teammates chiming in remotely! 🧠⚡

While we were initially prepping for two bigger CTFs that unfortunately got postponed, we quickly adapted and dove headfirst into three other competitions instead:
🔹 Break the Syntax CTF
🔹 Dam CTF
🔹 San Diego CTF

The result?
🥇 We full cleared and won Break the Syntax CTF, Dam CTF, and San Diego CTF - a triple win that kept the flag bell ringing non-stop all weekend 🔔💥

A big thanks to #Eupry for hosting us - we had a blast solving challenges together, sharing knowledge, and pushing each other to think deeper and faster.

Weekends like this are part of what makes #Kalmarunionen special: a mix of collaboration, curiosity, and fighting spirit - and a chance for aspiring members to challenge themselves alongside some of the best CTF players in the world.

With the bigger CTFs postponed, we got an opportunity to slow down and dive deeper - sharing knowledge, solving problems together, and enjoying capturing flags. We play to win, but we also play because we love the challenge 💪🧠✨

✨ Special shoutout 🙌 to our sponsors whose support makes these meetups and our CTF journey possible:
Industriens Fond, JN Data, Dubex, ICSRange
