Sorry for the n00bish question, but I've never done any reversing. What does CTF stand for?

  "Capture The Flag", typically the challenges will have a "flag" hidden somewhere that you have to locate.

    Gotcha; that is what came to mind from playing FPS games, but figured it was probably something different in this context. Thanks.

  It stands for Capture The Flag, in these exercises it usually means completing a series of reverse engineering scenarios exploiting vulnerabilities in a simulated environment or possibly obtaining and holding root access to a host while others continue to search for and attack the host.
