NorthSec 2026

🚩 In the CTF: the solarpunk universe reaches all the way into the competition. When you find a flag, you might face a moral choice.

Less than a month left and badges are limited 👉 nsec.io

🎲 In the villages: we're welcoming Why We Fight, a solarpunk tabletop RPG created and run by its own creators, Laurie Blake and Rob Ingle. Your team traverses the remnants of a war-torn country to save lives, reclaim nature, and rebuild community. www.sdrgames.studio/pages/why-we...

🎉 May 14: our legendary annual party becomes a candlelit ball in white. Immersive atmosphere, stunning visual surprises, a celebration of the hacker community. Want to costume up? Picture yourself as an ecological militia using technology to defend your community.

Every year, NorthSec adopts a unique theme that permeates the entire experience. And this year, that's the solarpunk universe NorthSec 2026 is diving into. It plays out on multiple levels 🧵

Solarpunk is a cultural movement that stands in opposition to cyberpunk. Rather than a dystopian future, it imagines a world where humanity chose to set aside its divisions and build something lasting: green cities, technology in service of communities, nature reclaimed.
