This interactive session involved participants answering polls throughout the presentation, conducting Question and Answer (QnA) discussions, and playing mini CTF in groups. She also suggested that if we get stuck in CTF before finding the walkthrough of the challenges, we should try to solve the challenges by ourselves first. Try to Hack Me and Hack The Box are some of the platforms that can help us learn how to play CTF. Eirini Anthi, the best ways to prepare for CTF are 1) getting and learning how to use Kali Linux – an OS specifically built for pentesting/forensic/etc., 2) exercising with previous CTF challenges, and 3) learning from accessible sources, such as YouTube, or paid courses.

The former style contains a series of challenges in various categories to earn some points.

The CTF competition CTF is classified into the “Jeopardy-style” and the “Attack-Defend style”. We did this because playing CTF can be the best experience to learn and pursue a career in cyber security. Eirini Anthi explained what CTF is about, how to play it – even how to get started, gave some tips, and let us experience playing a mini-CTF.
