01. What is CTF?
Capture The Flag (CTF) is a specialized cybersecurity competition. It’s a “hacker playground” where you solve technical puzzles across various security domains to find hidden text strings called “Flags”.
Jeopardy Style
Solve individual tasks for points. Higher difficulty = More points.
Flag Hunting
Submit strings to validate your exploit on the live leaderboard.
02. How to Play
Follow the protocol to secure your position.
Initialize
Register your team on our portal and verify your credentials.
Select Target
Choose a challenge from Web, Pwn, Crypto, or Forensics domains.
Exploit
Find vulnerabilities and extract the “Flag” from the target system.
Rank Up
Submit the flag to gain points and climb the global leaderboard.
Mission Categories
Web Security
Focuses on finding flaws in web apps: SQL Injection, XSS, and broken auth.
Binary / Pwn
Low-level memory corruption. Buffer overflows, ROP chains, and shellcoding.
Cryptography
Decoding the math. Crack RSA, AES, and find flaws in custom crypto implementations.
Forensics
Investigate memory dumps, PCAP network traffic, and hidden files (steganography).
