A Challenging and Dynamic Arena
The competition was structured as a team-based event, with each team consisting of four members who worked together to solve practical challenges in computer networking and information security. Teams had only 25 minutes to analyze the problem, propose a solution, and implement it on real devices or simulation software. The atmosphere in the hall was always full of energy and suspense. Students had to collaborate closely, share ideas, and make the most of their time to complete the tasks. Challenges related to IP configuration, system security, and network troubleshooting created difficulties but also provided opportunities for teams to demonstrate their logical thinking and effective problem-solving skills.
