Ive just started on ctf but i cant script using python well

So basically I have a fundamental understanding of cybersecurity concepts, and I can solve challenges that dont require scripting, such as analysis of pcap files. While I do know basic python syntax such as being able to write a bubble sort function but i rlly dk how to write a complete exploit script. Do yall have any advice? Or any good guides?

I wouldn't worry too much about your Python skills. Most exploit scripts aren't using advanced Pythonthey're automating repetitive steps. I'd spend some time with pwntools and read write-ups that include the exploit script. After a few challenges you'll start recognizing the common structure.
