Capture The Flag competitions present a unique opportunity to practice various information security problems and topics. Staying current with diverse tools and techniques is especially important for members of the InfoSec community. Some of the challenges presented in CTFs are web exploitation, forensics, cryptography, and binary exploitation/reversing. Despite the learning opportunities and fun experiences offered by CTFs, many are reluctant to try them. In this talk, our goal is to provide everything a person would need to start working on CTFs; we'll cover the various types of CTFs, possible challenges one might encounter, useful resources, and specific competitions worth checking out.
