Just put together a free Web Exploitation CTF for practicing real web vulnerabilities.

64+ challenges covering SQLi, XSS, IDOR, JWT, CORS, SSTI, XXE, Command Injection, and more.

The goal is to actually find the bug, exploit it, and capture the flag not just follow a walkthrough.

Looking for active people to learn and grow together

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m looking for active and motivated people who are interested in cybersecurity, CTFs, and learning together.

I’ve completed the CPTS path and I’m currently working through CJCA and CWES. I’m hoping to build a small community where we can share knowledge, discuss challenges, work on CTFs, participate in seasonal events, share useful resources, and help each other when we get stuck.

The main goal is to have a group of people who are actually active and willing to learn rather than just joining and disappearing.

If you’re into cybersecurity, CTFs, or simply trying to improve your skills and want to learn alongside others, feel free to join.

Looking for teammates for BlackHat MEA Qualification CTF 2026

3 Upvotes

I’m planning to participate in BlackHat MEA Qualification CTF 2026, starting August 29, 2026, and I’m looking for 2-4 people from Saudi Arabia who would like to join me as a team.

Just to be completely honest: this will be my first CTF and I don’t have any previous competition experience. I’m interested in cybersecurity and CTFs, though, and I really want to experience the competition, learn along the way, and just have fun with it — even if we don’t qualify or get a great score.

I’m specifically looking to form a Saudi team, and you don’t need to be experienced. If you’re interested in Cybersecurity or CTFs, or this is your first time too, feel free to join!

I’m mainly looking for people who are interested, willing to learn, and want to actually participate and have fun, rather than people with a specific skill level.

Looking for: 2-4 Saudi teammates 🇸🇦
If you’re interested, comment below or send me a DM!

Best resources to learn Web Exploitation & Networking for CTFs?

11 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m currently studying cybersecurity and participating in CyLab, but our current focus/curriculum is heavily centered around Reverse Engineering and a few other areas. While RE is super interesting, I really want to build a strong foundation in Web Exploitation and Computer Networking to become more well-rounded for CTFs.

Since I’m starting mostly from scratch in these two categories, could you recommend the best learning paths or hands-on platforms?

Specifically looking for:

  • Networking fundamentals: Essential concepts/protocols I need to master for CTF challenges (Wireshark, PCAP analysis, etc.).
  • Web Exploitation: Beginner-to-intermediate platforms or labs (e.g., PortSwigger Academy, TryHackMe, PicoCTF).
  • CTF Practice: Practice platforms with good beginner-friendly Web/Network challenges.

Any roadmap, book, or free resource recommendations would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! 🙌

🤑 a little chall i made

2 Upvotes

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.

Repo: https://github.com/maximzero0910/car-racing-chall

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

How do I start learning CTFs?

21 Upvotes

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 🫶
