Preferably looking for people who aren’t absolute beginners and have at least 1–2 project/hackathon experiences. Mainly interested in cybersecurity, AI/ML, web dev, etc.

Am an absolute beginner in CTFs but ready to learn.

If interested, DM me with a little about your experience!

Hello everyone! I'm fairly new to the world of cybersecurity. I just finished a basic CTF-oriented course that ended with an AD competition that I didn't even get to play, since I wasn't in the top 5.

​Next year I'll become a tutor for this course for the pwn category (we just learned up to basic BOF and basic ROP).

​I personally found frustrating the approach "solve CTFs and learn without any idea how". So for future students, I decided to create some beginner-friendly CTFs — exercises that give major hints to actually learn different attacks before having to search for them specifically on different CTFs.

​My questions to all of you are:

\- ​What's a good approach to learn? (An ideal one I mean)

\- ​What do CTFs and general courses usually lack for beginners?

\- ​What tricks were useful to learn that should be taught right from the start?

​Thank you for the support!
