A Capture The Flag (CTF) competition is a cybersecurity challenge where participants, also known as "hackers" or "players," solve a series of security-related puzzles and challenges to find hidden flags. These flags are typically in the form of text strings or files and are located on vulnerable systems or within encrypted data.
