Main
Welcome to the OWASP Capture The Flag (CTF) project!

First of all... sorry, but of course, we can not make the CTF and all challenges opensource. Hereby my apologies for not being as open as I want OWASP and OWASP projects to be. ..I know you understand!

Ahead of the OWASP AppSec-NY in 2009, the idea came up to supply an OWASP CTF event. This has been repeated successfully for the AppSec-EU 2009. Both developed by volunteering individuals, putting in a big amount of work, building the CTF from scratch. As the CTF event was warmly welcomed by those who participated, it was clear, the CTF has to become a event available for each OWASP event. To make this possible, the CTF project has been created!

The CTF
The OWASP CTF project is a web base hacking challenge application with challenges categorized in web, network and ‘others’. You require creativity, resourcefulness and networking skills to solve the various challenges.

what do I nee to anticipate
To anticipate on a CTF event, all you need is your laptop. Connection to the CTF should be able via wireless network. In some cases, it can be the conference venue disallow local wireless networks and the CTF will be accessible via LAN network.

joining the CTF
To anticipate in a CTF event, you can register on the online application. It's advisable the attendees have to register by the CTF organizer.
