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!

Types of Challenges in a CTF:

• 🔐 Cryptography - Cracking encrypted messages and solving ciphers.
• 🔍 Reverse Engineering - Understanding how programs work by dissecting them.
• 💥 Binary Exploitation - Identifying and using software vulnerabilities.
• 🌐 Web Exploitation - Manipulating web applications to find weaknesses.
• 🕵️ Forensics - Analyzing digital evidence to uncover hidden data.

Why TAMUctf?

TAMUctf is a student-built CTF competition designed to challenge and engage students of all skill levels. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced hacker, you'll find exciting challenges with just enough guidance to keep you learning without feeling lost.

No experience? No problem! Jump in, explore, and have fun hacking! 🚀
