Do I understand it correct, that all the CTFs are basically puzzles with planted cues and weakened parts, since if there was no such a preparation, almost noone could score a flag, plus the orgs could not know in advance how their system is crackable, which would result in a competition being in essence "find a zeroday"?
- jallbrit 4y agoYes that’s correct. Typically there’s is a “flag” or a string of text that the hackers attempt to find. Good companies have a bug bounty program where people can submit 0-days.
- mshockwave 4y agoCorrect, IMHO these competitions are mostly setup in search of talented people and (maybe) catch the attention of general public on certain security fields
