Capture the flag (CTF) contests are a way to teach people about real-world hacking and exploits in a fun environment. Many corporate IT departments are running their own CTF events. These contests can take many forms, and youll need to answer several questions before you can build your playbook and conduct a successful event. One of the most popular series began at the Vegas DEFCON show in 1996 and attracts thousands of participants. There are even CTFs designed for high school students.”]
