Hey folks, in this blog I\u2019m going to share how do you guys get started in CTF: Capture The Flag (\u201cJhande Ukhaadne Hai\u201d). So let\u2019s jump into it.<\/p>\n

Before knowing about how to get started in CTF let\u2019s first understand what CTF is, what we do in CTF, what is a flag, and is CTF helps you to polish your hacking skills.<\/p>\n

CTF: Capture The Flag<\/h1>\n

CTF: Capture the Flag is a type of information security competition that challenges competitors to solve a variety of tasks. It is a special type of cybersecurity competition designed to challenge computer participants to solve computer security problems or capture and defend computer systems. Typically, these competitions are team-based and attract a diverse range of participants including students, enthusiasts, and professionals. A CTF competition may take a few hours, a full day, or several days.<\/p>\n

Why CTF?<\/h1>\n

Computer security represents a challenge for education due to its interdisciplinary nature. The topics of computer security range from theoretical aspects of computer technology to applied aspects of information technology management. This makes it difficult to encapsulate the feeling of constituting computer security professionals.<\/p>\n

Types of Capture The Flag challenge<\/h1>\n

JEOPARDY STYLE:<\/h2>\n

Jeopardy-style CTFs have a couple of tasks in a range of categories. For example, web, forensics, crypto, binary, or anything else. The team can gain some points for each solved task. More points usually for more complex tasks. The next task in the series can only be opened after some team resolves the previous task. Then the playing time is more than the sum of digits which shows you the CTF winner<\/p>\n

ATTACK DEFENSE STYLE:<\/h2>\n

Attack-defense is another interesting type of competition. Every team here has its own network (or only one host) with rude services. Your team has time to patch your services and usually develop adventures. So, then the organizers add the contest participants and the battle begins! You should protect your own services for defense points and hack opponents for attack points.<\/p>\n

MIXED STYLE<\/h2>\n

Possible formats for mixed competitions may vary. This can be something like a wargame with specific times for task-based elements.<\/p>\n

CTF games often touch on many other aspects of information security: cryptography, stenography, binary analysis, reverse arranging, mobile security, and others.<\/p>\n

Challenge Types & Tools<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Cryptography:-<\/h2>\n

In the case of CTFs, the goal is usually to crack or clone cryptographic objects or algorithms to reach the flag.<\/p>\n
