WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT RAZORHACK
"I enjoyed the challenges at RazorHack. The scoring system was pretty unique compared to other CTFs I've done. I liked that there were multiple types of things to do."
Nathan Glover
Farmington High School
"Razorhack was my first time competing in a CTF style competition and it’s made me regret not doing so sooner. Between the supportive mentors, the difficult challenges, and the healthy competition, I feel much more capable in my future cyber security endeavors. I will be attending for years to come."
Nicholas DeVilliers
University of Arkansas
"RazorHack was an amazing experience! There was such a wide variety of puzzles and challenges, and everyone involved with organizing the weekend was really helpful. If you have never attended a hackathon before, RazorHack is a great place to start. I learned a ton, and can't wait to compete again this year!"
