🎮CTFs
This section contains my personal collection of CTF writeups, organized by platform. CTFs are cybersecurity competitions that help develop and test penetration testing skills in a controlled environment.
What are CTFs?
Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions are cybersecurity challenges where participants solve security puzzles by exploiting vulnerabilities in systems, applications, or files to obtain a "flag" - usually a specific string of text that proves successful completion.
Platforms Covered
Industry-leading cybersecurity training platform with various machines and challenges ranging from beginner to expert difficulty.
Security training platform with guided "rooms" designed to teach specific cybersecurity concepts and techniques.
Benefits of CTFs
Practical application of offensive security techniques
Learning to think like an attacker
Exposure to various technologies and vulnerability types
Development of problem-solving skills
Documentation practice through writeups
How to Use These Writeups
These writeups serve as:
Personal reference for techniques and approaches
Knowledge sharing with the security community
Documentation of my learning journey
Note: If you're attempting these challenges yourself, I recommend trying to solve them independently before consulting these writeups.
Methodology
In general, my approach to CTFs follows this methodology:
Reconnaissance - Information gathering
Enumeration - Finding potential entry points
Exploitation - Leveraging vulnerabilities
Privilege Escalation - Gaining higher permissions
Post-Exploitation - Finding flags and documenting findings
Happy hacking!
