Dernièrement

From 15 May 2025, the Premium offer will disappear for good.

It will be replaced by a single membership of the Root-Me association, bringing together all the benefits... and more! 🎉

What’s changing :

• ❌ End of Premium membership

• ✅ A single offer: membership of the association

• 🧩 Exclusive challenges for members only

• 💶 Membership: €40

🎯 Why membership? To simplify, refocus on the spirit of the association and ensure the long-term future of the platform.
Root-Me is still 100% free, but we need your support to keep the 600+ challenges alive!

✅ All active Premium memberships remain valid until they expire.
No lost benefits. Just bonuses.

Renowned for our (highly) technical DNA, and with 20 years’ experience behind us, we embody the hardcore approach to cyber. We live cyber to the full: CTF with the Phreaks 2600, our annual PwnMe, R&D lab (RCE3), masterclasses, events at SQY... not forgetting our back-to-school bootcamp (and its GIGN release 🔥).

There are two ways to join us:
