Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Capture The Flag (CTF) competition?

A Capture The Flag (CTF) competition is a specialized cybersecurity contest where participants tackle challenges designed to simulate real-world security issues. These challenges, often in the form of puzzles, require skills in areas such as cryptography, web exploitation, reverse engineering, and forensics. Participants or teams earn points by solving these challenges and retrieving “flags,” which are unique strings serving as proof of completion

What are the main types of CTF competitions?

CTF competitions generally fall into two primary categories:

  • Jeopardy-Style CTFs: Participants are presented with a variety of challenges across different categories like web exploitation, binary exploitation, cryptography, and more. Each challenge carries a specific point value, and teams accumulate points by solving them. The team with the highest score at the end of the competition wins.snyk.io

  • Attack-Defense CTFs: In this format, teams are assigned their own vulnerable systems, which they must defend while simultaneously attempting to exploit the systems of other teams. This style emphasizes both offensive and defensive cybersecurity skills, requiring participants to secure their own infrastructure while attacking opponents.
