Huge props to Gulshan and Javier for launching. This is an incredibly cool platform, and the work they've been doing to introduce people to security through CTFs is hugely important: the only way we're going to build a more secure internet is by training all developers -- not just security engineers -- to understand exactly what it takes to attack an application.

I often meet people who wish they knew more about security, but they feel as though things like cryptography are beyond their grasp. Nothing could be further from the truth, and CTFs are evidence of this fact.

You can always find upcoming CTFs on CTF Time [0]. Give one a try sometime, and you might surprise yourself with how quickly you're able to pick things up. Even if you don't solve any problems, you'll have an absolute blast.

If you ever have questions about getting involved in CTF or you're looking for resources on learning security, don't be afraid to reach out to me. My contact info is on my profile.
