WHAT IS unAuthX

THIS IS COMPETITIVE HACKING.

A competitive sport built around real-world cybersecurity. Hackers compete in realistic organisational environments, build their rank and earn recognition for what they can actually do.

Traditional challenges ask you to find the flag. unAuthX asks you to execute an Operation.

TRADITIONAL COMPETITION

FIND THE FLAG.

Find the vulnerability. Exploit the machine. Capture the flag.

THE ARENA

WHERE THE SPORT IS PLAYED.

Every Arena puts you inside an organisation. Networks. Applications. Identities. Infrastructure. Cloud. Security controls.

You don’t receive the solution. You execute the Operation.

EXPLORE THE ARENABUILDING

L1INFRASTRUCTUREEndpoints, servers, networks and cloud, wired the way real organisations wire them.
L2IDENTITYHuman and machine identities, with the privileges and trust that come with them.
L3APPLICATIONSBusiness apps and data stores that the organisation actually depends on.
L4VULNERABILITIESKnown and unknown flaws, placed where they would plausibly exist.
L5ATTACK PATHSThe routes an adversary can take from first access to the goal.
L6OBJECTIVESVerifiable goals, up to the Crown Jewel. This is what scores.

FROM ORGANISATION TO ARENA.

ORGANISATIONReal systems. Tangled relationships.
DIGITAL TWINModelled by layer: identity, infrastructure, applications, data.
ARENAInstantiated inside an authorised, isolated Cyber Range.

STATE ORGANISATION

THE ORGANISATION IS THE NEW UNIT OF PLAY.

Realistic organisations. Realistic attack paths. Competitive objectives. Every Match runs inside an authorised, isolated Cyber Range.

X-RANK

YOUR SKILL. YOUR RECORD. YOUR RANK.

X-RANK is the unAuthX competitive ranking: what you have demonstrated in competition, not what you claim on a CV.

Eligibility for each Season is set in its rulebook. One rule is already fixed: people who design a Mission do not compete in it.

A SPORT GROWS THROUGH THOSE WHO PLAY IT.
AND THE ORGANISATIONS THAT HELP SHAPE IT.
