Introduction to Capture The Flag Competitions

by Aleksandar Nikolic

The goal of this presentation is to present to the audience the wonderful world of Capture The Flag hacking competitions. How it works? What kind of CTFs are there? Who organizes them? What you need and how to get started. All these questions and more will be answered. Our wish is to get more people to participate in these kind of challenges. Our team, gn00bz, started as a regional team. Mostly comprised by members from Ex-YU countries, but has since grown to include people from all over the world. CTFs are a great way to grind your skills and meet other great people.
