Your first full challenge

45 min

A challenge has a story, some files and one flag in the form CTF-ORION{...}.

A method that works

  • Read the story twice. The title and wording are clues
  • Look at the files: type, size, readable text, metadata
  • Try the simple ideas first: decode, search, open in the right tool
  • Write down what you tried so you do not repeat it

Try it

Open the challenges page, pick a Beginner challenge in a category you like, download its file and work through the list above. Submit the flag when you find it.
