MIRAGE

Mirage offers a rare opportunity to explore the architecture of cybersecurity through a lens of augmented reality and physical exploration. This isn't your typical static scoreboard; it is a live, Augmented Reality-gamified infiltration of the actual Thapar campus, where the physical world becomes the interface for a high-stakes digital hunt. Participants will be guided through an augmented simulation where the university’s iconic landmarks serve as the interactive backdrop for complex security puzzles. From intercepting wireless signals at the Library to uncovering hidden cryptographic markers in the OAT, you will navigate the complete lifecycle of a cyber-attack: reconnaissance, exploitation, and post-compromise analysis, all while moving through the campus in real-time.
