@Jacco we're currently participating in a "high school" CTF. Which means it's much easier. Also it's not just about pentesting (offensive sec). There's also crypto, stegano, forensics etc...
@SEJPM the problem: we already have 5 registered users and there's only one spot left. The other problem: the other guys had some stuff to do IRL so I'm kinda alone :p
Every year in Arizona there are monsoon storms and somebody inevitably get's killed in a car that is sinking in water.
It appears the primary issue is getting free from the vehicle. After that, there's an entire set of other issues. Aside from that, how can I free myself from a sinking vehicle...
it all depends on the CTF. I've been doing a series of High School CTF to practice since they are relatively easier. They are usually one week long. The "normal" ctfs are usually in the weekend lasting around 24h to 48h. Participation isn't mandatory, neither is "full" availability. For example, I sometimes can only play on sundays and not on saturdays because of my parttime job.
You tackle the problems you have interest in any time you want.
I would typically be able participate at least one day of the weekend (probably two if I know up front) and I'm mostly available in the evenings (UTC+2).
As I said, I'm definitely interested, but I'm unsure I have the specialized skills to really contribute anything, other than a working brain and the typical programmer's skills.
@Jacco I started like you and with "high school"CTF's they are definitely a good entry point. Of course, you might learn a lot by reading some write ups. Bonus: sometimes there's also "programming challenges" as well!
