Prof. Ashraf Ahmed, the Dean of King Hussein School of Computing Sciences, commended the professional skills of the organizing students responsible for developing and crafting the questions as well as the participating students who provided solutions to these questions. The questions presented a series of challenges related to digital forensics, encryption, device penetration, reverse engineering, and various other fields within the realm of cybersecurity.

In 2022, the club organized a competition where participants were tasked with penetrating prepared devices and systems within a secure environment. This year's competition encompassed a wide range of cybersecurity domains, covering aspects such as website and server security, cybercrime, open-source intelligence, and reverse engineering.
