The 2022 competition started on Friday, December 2, 2022 at 15:00 and ended on Sunday, December 4, 2022 at 21:00. It consisted of 22 challenges, out of which the TUC students solved 16 and completely cleared the categories of Forensics, FullPwn, and Cloud.

This important international distinction comes as a result of continuous presence and distinctions of TUC School of ECE student teams in annual computer science and engineering contests.
