The concept

StealthCup is a CTF-like blue team and red team training platform. Professional red teams attack a near-real enterprise and industrial (IT and OT) network, fully monitored by real detection and monitoring tools. Stealth is what counts: every alert you trigger costs points.

  1. Get in

    Your team attacks a live IT/OT enterprise environment, just like a real engagement.

  2. Stay invisible

    The network is watched by real detection tools. Every alert you trigger costs you points.

  3. Score

    Reach your objectives without being seen. The best team goes the furthest, the quietest.
