History
We flip-flopped the fuck around quite a bit actually. Starting at the end of 2022, Frank had the idea to combine his background in fiction and publishing, with his IT career and interest in OSINT. This gave birth to Hacktoria. Originally dubbed a “Monthly Story Driven OSINT CTF”.
Over the last few years we tried a lot of things, from becoming a platform to a business. In the end, it all felt off and weird. So here we are, exactly 3 years later. Right before 2025 we decided to follow our creative roots and throw horror in the mix.
So here we are, back to our OSINT roots and a monthly cycle.
