CyberFire Puzzles Fall 2022

What is CyberFire Puzzles?

Created by the U.S. Department of Energy and Los Alamos National Laboratory, CyberFire Puzzles is a friendly competition that features a plethora of interesting mathematical and computer-science-based problems. You can expect to see sequence problems (think 1,5,9,d,...), number base conversion, network forensics, reverse engineering, and more. The problems in each category start at a beginner level but increase in difficulty as you learn from each problem.

Cyber Fire Puzzles offers a great opportunity to gain experience working on cyber security problems and looks good on your resume and to employers.

Anyone at all levels may join! As long as you have an inquisitive mind with a knack for problem solving, you will definitely fare well and more!
