What is a CTF?

A Capture The Flag (CTF) competition is a cybersecurity challenge where participants solve puzzles and hacking scenarios to uncover hidden "flags"—unique pieces of text that earn them points. It's a hands-on way to build cybersecurity skills while having fun!

• 🔐 Cryptography - Cracking encrypted messages and solving ciphers.
• 🔍 Reverse Engineering - Understanding how programs work by dissecting them.
