CTF strategies & techniques

Capture the Flag (CTF) has become increasingly popular in the field of cybersecurity as a training ground for aspiring ethical hackers and cybersecurity professionals. It involves a series of challenges where participants must use their technical skills and knowledge to solve problems, find hidden flags, and gain points. CTF challenges cover a wide range of topics, including web application security, binary analysis, cryptography, and more.

CTF tools

CTFs (Capture the Flag) are competitions where participants try to solve various cybersecurity challenges, such as exploiting vulnerabilities, reverse engineering, digital forensics, and cryptography, to retrieve a "flag." To assist in solving these challenges, there are numerous CTF tools available, and participants typically have a toolkit that caters to the various CTF categories.
