2025 Vienna Bootcamp

From July 4–6, 2025, TU Wien hosts the third edition of the International Ethical Hacking Bootcamp — an intensive, practice-oriented training event focused on cybersecurity fundamentals, ethical hacking techniques, and real-world attack scenarios.

The program is tailored for students, young professionals, and cybersecurity enthusiasts. Participants will gain hands-on experience in key areas like:

• Penetration Testing
• Vulnerability Assessment
• Defensive Strategies
• Reverse Engineering
• Hardware Hacking
• Mobile & Web Security
• Digital Forensics

~150 participants are expected, including national teams from Austria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, Germany, Switzerland, and Italy.

The bootcamp also serves as a training ground for Team Europe in preparation for the International Cyber Security Challenge 2025 in Japan and the European Cyber Security Challenge.

CTF & Collaboration

On Day 2, a Capture The Flag (CTF) session based on Austrian Cyber Security Challenge challenges will emphasize team-based problem-solving — collaboration over competition.

This is not just a contest — it’s an opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with top minds in European cybersecurity.

Impact

The Vienna Bootcamp continues to strengthen the city’s role as a hub for cybersecurity training, research, and international collaboration.
