What the flag is CTF?

[rabbl]

Talk description

Since 2011 Mallle's CTF-Team Eat, Sleep, Pwn, Repeat organizes a Capture the Flag contest for people at Chaos Communication Congress and from all over the world, where over a thousand teams are competing every year who's getting the most points from captured flags.

In this talk, he will give you a short overview about what a CTF is, the challenges, the players, the community and how much fun it is to play. After a short introduction of the different topics from reverse engineering, binary exploitation, over crypto(graphy) to web(-security) tasks he will show some of the web-challenges from this year's junior contest and solve them in a live-hacking session.

So you can get an idea what you are up to when you decide to play, getting a closer look into web issues and see how to solve our challenges even if you never played a CTF before.
