CTF

From SecurityTools

CTF, or Capture the Flag, is a security event hosted online or at a security conference. The "flag" in these events is a bit of information discovered by overcoming security challenges to earn points in the CTF event. The "winner" is the person or team with the most points when time runs out on the event.
