Acknowledgements

All of this would not have been possible without the help of volunteers and sponsors. We offer our special thanks to everyone working hard behind the scenes to make this event happen. Firstly, we would like to thank Robert from StudSec for taking care of the CTF infrastructure. Secondly, we would like to thank Josephine, Asia, Thijs, and Rick for giving workshops during the event. Thirdly, we would like to offer our gratitude to the CTF challenge builders: Bas (web and reversing), Mariana (cryptography and forensics), Marthijn (miscellaneous). Finally, we would like to Lisanne, Novi, and Bezayite from our team for their efforts in organizing the event and making sure everything runs smoothly.

Furthermore, we would like to offer a big thank you to our sponsors for their generous support and contributions. Once again we would like to thank Challenge The Cyber, Nexerius, StudSec, and anonymous contributors for making Hack{h}erQuest 2026 possible.
