We are delighted that TOG Hackerspace is a community sponsor of ZeroDays CTF 2026. This year, we are especially excited to be hosting the lockpicking challenges as part of the event. ZeroDays CTF 2026 takes place at Croke Park on Saturday, 21 March 2026, and Zero Days Security says it is aimed at students, university graduates, and ICT professionals, with 400+ participants expected.
At TOG, we love community events that encourage experimentation, curiosity, and playful uses of technology. We are big believers in learning by doing, and lockpicking is a great fit for that. It is hands-on, practical, a bit puzzly, and always a good way to get people thinking differently about how things work.
ZeroDays has done a great job building up cybersecurity events in Ireland, and we are glad to play a small part in this year’s event. Capture the flag competitions are a brilliant way to bring people together, whether they are completely new to the area or already deep into the world of security. They create space for problem solving, teamwork, and plenty of chances to learn something new. Zero Days Security says its goal is to promote, develop, and encourage participation in CTF events in Ireland.
This year’s theme is MEMES, so there should be a good bit of fun and silliness mixed in with the challenges, too. Registration opens at 9 am, with the competition kicking off at 10 am, so it promises to be a full day of activity based on the event description you shared.
If you are heading along, be sure to drop by the lockpicking area and say hello. We are looking forward to meeting participants, chatting with visitors, and adding a hands-on challenge to what should be a brilliant day.
See you at ZeroDays CTF 2026.
