Codorra is a two-phase cybersecurity hackathon focused on building practical, real-world security tools — not slide decks, not vaporware.

 

The hackathon brings together students, professionals, and independent builders to solve real security problems across multiple tracks, from serious defense tooling to experimental and creative ideas.

 

Codorra runs in two rounds:

 

Round 1 (Online Hackathon):
May 22–31, 2026. Teams build and submit their projects online via Devpost and GitHub. Participation is completely free.

 

Round 2 (Offline Demo Day):
June 5–7, 2026. Selected finalists are invited to demo their projects in Bengaluru or present virtually. Final judging, demos, and winner announcements happen during this round.

 

Codorra emphasizes execution over concepts, working prototypes over slides, and real-world applicability over hype.

Requirements

Teams must build a working security-related project aligned with one of Codorra’s tracks.

 

Each submission must include:

 

1. Devpost Submission

 

  • Project title and short description

  • Selected track

  • GitHub repository link

  • Optional demo/video link

  • Team member names and roles

 

2. GitHub Repository

 

  • Working, documented code

  • A README explaining:

    • What the project does

    • Setup and usage instructions

    • Any configuration or deployment steps

  • Optional demo or test scripts

 

3. Demo-Ready Project

 

  • Projects should be functional and demo-ready

  • A rough working prototype is preferred over polished slides
