What is CTF?
Capture The Flag (CTF) is a cybersecurity competition in which participants solve a wide range of technical challenges to obtain “flags” — hidden strings that serve as proof of successful problem-solving or system exploitation.
Typical challenge categories include:
- Web Security
- Cryptography
- Digital Forensics
- Binary Exploitation
- Reverse Engineering
- Miscellaneous
CTFs are widely recognized as an effective way to develop practical cybersecurity skills, critical thinking, and teamwork.
