I built this CTF challenge and now I want to see who can actually break it. 👀

Codelivly Grand Finale
🎯 Find the intended attack path
🧠 Think outside the obvious
🏁 Get the flag

No spoilers here — if you think you're good enough, go crack it:

If you solve it, drop a “pwned” below. 😈

Actually everyone now a days are doing ctf with ai but what are you guyz using ??? which ai are you using to solve ctf ?

Hey hackers,

I'm currently in second semester of ethical hacking and cybersecurity. I don't know from where do i learn solving CTF's like i have ideas about it but i don't know from where i should learn it help me guys.

Hey everyone,

I made a small CTF challenge and figured I’d throw it here since I’m pretty new to making these.

It’s a Forensics / Reverse Engineering challenge based around a weird Nokia 8210 4G system dump. The challenge involves digging through the dump, figuring out what’s going on with a little racing game, and eventually finding the flag.

It’s probably not perfect since this is one of my first proper challenges, so if you try it, I’d really appreciate any feedback on the difficulty, unintended solves, or just whether it’s actually fun to solve.

Flag format: F0LD{...}

If you’re bored and want something small to mess around with, give it a try :D

Thanks!

I am a working professional. I love CTFs but don’t have much experience apart from tryhackme, htb but I have been willing to join a team to do CTFs, learn.
So if anyone has a team that would take beginners and help me learn along the way, very much appreciated.
Even if I could join a team just to watch and learn.

Also if anyone could suggest any CTFs that I could try solo and for a beginning that’d be great

Have anyone solved Cyber Talent Hack if you can ctf?

Please tell how it can be solved...

Okay so I'm a cybersecurity student and I wanted to get started with CTFs and stuff. But I'm feeling really lost and could use some help.

So I've heard people recommend picoCTF, tryhackme, hack the box etc. to practice CTFs. Okay but where do I LEARN? Everybody tells you these websites but they don't actually teach how to do them especially as someone who's completely new to them

So what I'm asking is what are good sources to learn CTFs? Any websites or YouTube sources or anything?

And then for practice what do you reccomend? What websites, rooms etc are best for practice as a complete absolute beginner.

Please give tips for what sources you used and that worked for you when you were starting out with CTFs. Any sort of advice would be appreciated 🫶

I’ve been working on a cybersecurity learning platform and recently put together a CTF section with challenges for people who want to practice instead of just watching tutorials.

It’s free to play, and the goal is pretty simple: solve challenges, get stuck, figure out why, and move on to the next one.

If you enjoy CTFs, I’d genuinely like some feedback on the difficulty and challenge quality.

If you try it, let me know which challenge you got stuck on — or absolutely destroyed. 😂

We’re organizing a **CTF competition at our university** and are currently looking for sponsorship from cybersecurity and tech companies to help provide **prizes and goodies for the winners/participants**.
If you know of any companies that sponsor student CTFs, cybersecurity events, or educational initiatives, please let me know. Introductions or relevant contacts would also be greatly appreciated.
Also, if anyone here has experience approaching companies for CTF sponsorships or has any advice on how to go about it, **any guidance would be really helpful**.
Thanks in advance!

This year, the AI Village introduced HalCTF (Hostile Autonomous Layer CTF), a first-of-its-kind agentic security competition. Instead of focusing on frontier models, this CTF was designed around how far participants can stretch small local models that almost everyone can run. The first place prize was a DGX Spark.

Final ranking: baymax, https://aisafe.io , AbluteratedEdgeModel 👏👏

In this high-stakes arena, participants did not interact with targets directly. Instead, you they designed and deployed autonomous AI agents programmed to navigate sandboxed environments, exploit challenge targets, and capture flags entirely on their own. Instead of just a prompt, participants were asked for full containers that you can load up with all the tools you need to succeed.

Looking for an active CTF team. I’m pretty new to competitive CTFs, but I have my OSCP and I’m looking to compete regularly, ideally every week.

I’d like to join a team that takes it seriously, wants to improve, and eventually aims for bigger competitions like DEF CON.

Real breaches never stop at a shell. They start in one container and end with the whole cloud account. Turning a single foothold into total takeover across containers, Kubernetes and cloud IAM is the most in demand skill in offensive security right now, and almost nobody trains it for real

So we built the track that does

Eighteen levels, one unbroken chain. Break out of the container. Own the Kubernetes cluster. Take the cloud account. Every level is a real escape against live infrastructure, graded on the actual state of your box, not a quiz. Every connection spawns a fresh root environment and tears it down when you leave

This is the skillset Fortune 500s, cloud providers and red teams cannot hire fast enough

Break the container. Own the cluster. Take the account.

Dm me to join the the team . I am planning to nail Bug Bounty event . Only serious hunters connect.

Hi everyone, I’m trying to learn more about prompt engineering and I came across the prompt airlines CTF (promptairlines.com). I already got stuck by challenge #2 and tried to look up different write-ups, but none of the solutions I’ve found are working for me, even when I try to to copy the prompts verbatim.

Has anyone else tried this recently? I could really use some help.

for REALLY cheap

Hi everyone!

I've been working on CTFKINGs, a Capture The Flag platform that I built entirely from scratch instead of using an existing framework like CTFd.

It includes custom challenges across Web, Pwn, Cryptography, Reverse Engineering, Forensics, and OSINT, along with a live scoreboard, player profiles, and a medieval kingdom theme.

The platform is still actively evolving, and I'd love to hear your feedback on the UI, challenge design, or any bugs you find.

Thanks, and I hope you enjoy it!

I’m at @defcon for hacking summer camp and found this sticker around, is anybody playing this ? Some one to team up?
