Learn to think like a hacker!
A "Capture the Flag" (CTF) is an ethical game for learning and practising computer security skills in a legal environment. We will play the OverTheWire Natas CTF, which teaches web application security. To solve each level, you need to find vulnerabilities by inspecting the website's source code, HTTP headers, or cookies, finding hidden directories, injecting SQL code, and more.
You can play on your own or in a team. All you need to bring is a laptop with a browser installed. For higher levels, you might also need tools such as curl. Most modern operating systems come with curl pre-installed.
Open for all, no registration needed. Bring a friend!
