Learn and improve your hacking skills with CTF challenges

Capture The Flag or CTF challenges are IT-security puzzles and competitions to practice (and show off) your hacking skills. The exact format can vary but the goal is always to collect one or more flags. You can compete alone or in teams, online or IRL. It’s all about problem solving within the IT-security realm and typical challenges include:

• Web and network penetration
• Reverse-engineering binary data and programs
• Finding weaknesses in cryptography
• Performing forensic investigations
• Attack/Defense battles

 

In this talk experienced CTF-veteran Zeta Two gives an introduction to the world of CTF. What it is, how to get started and show a live demo of a typical challenge.
