Are you ready for a new kind of challenge?

Exploit real-world LLM flaws, capture flags, and level up your AI-security instincts in a fast, fun session. Solo or with a team. Lunch included.

Browser-based • Natural human language • All skill levels welcome.

Why Join (benefits)

• Get practical, not theoretical. In 25 minutes, we will break down today’s most common LLM weaknesses—prompt injection, data leakage paths, tool-use abuse, guardrail bypasses, and more.

• Learn by doing. Dive straight into a guided Capture the Flag built around realistic app scenarios (yes, with a live scoreboard).

• Meet your people. Lunch + a 30-minute social warmup to find teammates, swap tips, and make new security friends.

• Win real prizes. Top teams take home gear and bragging rights—plus bonus prizes for best write-ups.

Agenda

• LLM Vulnerabilities 101

• Lunch & social mixer

• Capture the Flag activity

  What to expect: You’ll see how LLMs break in the wild, then immediately practice spotting and exploiting those failure modes—safely, legally, and with guidance.

How It Works

• Zero setup. Everything runs in the browser—bring a laptop and charger. - see a preview here - https://ctf-ai-picky.com/
