NymaCon is the annual hack-event of the city of Nijmegen and ICT Rijk van Nijmegen.
At NymaCon, students and professional ethical hackers use their pen-testing skills on CTF challenges and the IT infrastructure of Nijmegen and the surroundings towns. NymaCon, originally called HackNijmegen, has been held since 2022. Several cities in the Netherlands organise an event like this now, but NymaCon is the biggest event of this kind.
