In this episode of CTF Radiooo, adamd and Zardus answer the question that we get frequently: How to get into Capture the Flag (CTF) cybersecurity competitions?
We tell our “orgin story” about how we both got into CTFs at UCSB and with Shellphish (Zardus’ is particularly great).
We also point people to resources where they can get into CTFs.
The best way into CTFs is to start playing, so do it!
