hacking competitions

Hacking competitions, also called Capture The Flag (CTF) events, are organized contests where cybersecurity enthusiasts test their skills by solving security-related challenges. Participants identify vulnerabilities, exploit software flaws, or analyze security systems to earn points. These events help improve security knowledge, foster collaboration, and promote ethical hacking practices. Typically, teams compete against each other within a set time, demonstrating creativity and technical expertise in areas like cryptography, network security, and reverse engineering. They serve as valuable learning experiences and sometimes as recruiting opportunities for cybersecurity organizations.
