CTF is short for Capture the Flag, a hacking competition where users try to capture as many flags as possible, faster than the other competing teams. The Flags are text files that are placed in specific locations on a target. To capture the Flag (read the text file), the users must identify vulnerabilities in the target and exploit them to leverage the system or service.

The Hack The Box CTF platform offers a fully gamified environment, with advanced administrative capabilities that make the organizing of CTF events a breeze and the CTFs a fun & engaging training experience.
