Capture the Flag 101
Micah Silverman - 2 years ago
Capture the Flag events are exciting and competitive. But, they can be scary to developers who have never participated in them.
In this session, I introduce CTFs, discuss the benefits to developers and do a deep dive into a medium difficulty CTF challenge.
I'll walk through the thought process of the wiley developer and how to pick up on clues based on programming language, protocols involved, googling against what little information is provided in the challenge and local testing.
While the example is in python, no prior knowledge of python is required.
