The National Information Systems Security Agency (ANSSI Benin) succeeded in its bid to stage HackerLab 2021 outside Greater Nokoué, where the first three editions of the competition had been held. In Parakou, the format was an Attack-Defence CTF in which the 20 finalist teams competed in ingenuity to take the prize.
In addition to the three best teams rewarded at every edition, ANSSI decided this year to reward the competition's breakthrough team. This was GuruSecurityLabs, the best team in the top 10 (excluding the top 3) with the highest proportion of women and of people not originally from Greater Nokoué.
