What is CTF?
In the cybersecurity competition format known as CTF (Capture The Flag), teams or individuals must solve a variety of puzzles in order to "capture flags" (secret codes). These warning signs are concealed within purposefully weak networks, systems, or applications.
Like actual attackers, participants use their hacking expertise to find and take advantage of these weaknesses.
