What is CTF?
Capture the Flag (CTF) is a coding competition based around cybersecurity. Competitors solve security-related challenges to find “flags”, which are hidden strings of data. It’s simple: find the flags the fastest, and you win. We’ll be sharing more tournament-structure details as we approach the event, so watch this space.
