What is a CTF?
A CTF (Capture the Flag) is a cybersecurity competition in which participants solve a series of security challenges to find hidden pieces of information called “flags.” These challenges simulate real-world cybersecurity scenarios and reinforce concepts learned through the CyberPatriot Program. Teams earn points for each flag they successfully capture, encouraging problem-solving, teamwork, and hands-on learning in cybersecurity. 🏁💻
