OKCUP Oklahoma Cybersecurity Competition

Oklahoma Cup

Oklahoma Cup is a free cybersecurity competition for Oklahoma teams. If you've done CyberPatriot, it'll feel familiar. We run it so teams get more practice and more chances to compete.

It's something to do with your students, and hopefully something they enjoy. Teams gearing up for CyberPatriot can use it as a warm-up. Teams that are just curious can use it to learn a serious subject in a way that feels like a game.

How a round works

Your team works in Windows, Linux, and Cisco. You'll be finding and fixing security problems, tightening settings, cleaning out malware, and answering forensics questions along the way.

You compete from wherever you are. Coaches download the images ahead of time and get the room ready before the round. Your team has three hours from the time you start your first image.

While your team works, the machines send their scores to the live scoreboard, so everyone can watch how they stack up against the other teams.
