And no, we’re not talking about a physical in-person CTF, or a first-person shooter CTF (ala Quake or Unreal).

We’re talking about the cybersecurity hacking competitions known as Capture the Flag, where hackers from around the world compete to solve security challenges and develop their security skills.
