Capture the Flag

CTF; Capture the Flag is a computer security war game that takes place on an isolated network. Each team is given a machine (or small network) to defend. The teams are scored on both their success in defending their flag as well as on their success in attacking opposing team's flag. The purpose of the game is to enable students to apply penetration testing and intrusion detection techniques.
