Cyber Competitions

What Are Cyber Competitions?

Cyber competitions challenge participants' competencies in a wide range of areas including penetration testing, forensics, and cryptography. Most competitions use a capture-the-flag (CTF) format in which competitors obtain flags by solving challenges and submit flags to score points
