NOTE: I’m not a long-term CTF player but, I wanted to tell you guys about CTFs

Due to the ultimate performance issue with my PC I can’t even learn or do many things while learning Hacking :(

So I decided to suggest you two articles for you to know about CTFs…

  1. Beginner’s Guide to Capture the Flag (CTF) -By The Hackers Meetup
  2. Beginner’s Guide to CTFs -By vickie li

These two articles will help you to understand what is CTF and its benefits.

wait… there’s something to say about my CTF experience…

Ever since I’ve started in cybersecurity the first thing I came to know about is CTF by a friend he suggested me to learn some basics and start playing CTFs he tells me that to start with picoctf by Carnegie Mellon University, so on a fine day Signed up in PicoCTF and there are many categories like:

  • Web Exploitation
  • Cryptography
  • Reverse Engineering
  • Forensics
  • General Skills
  • Binary Exploitation

So I started with General Skills and it goes pretty well until I move on to another category there came the problem my computer can’t run Virtual Machine and the Host machine at same time this leads to quit playing of CTF… :(

But but but… from today I’ve decided to start playing CTF Guess what?

The Next Post will be the picoCTF General skill walkthrough 🔥 I’m really excited… 😃.
