Thank you for uploading these. I’m a beginner student and it feels like every pen tester/ hacker comes off as arrogant (at least the ones I’ve met or seen) and I’m just intimidated to ask questions because I feel stupid for asking basic stuff. Thanks for being motivating and encouraging people to learn. This is my passion and I want to learn all I can. Keep up the amazing videos brother👍🏼
Tip: Try every question on a CTF regardless of its points. Sometimes you may get discouraged by looking at high points questions but they are either super simple or super complex yet cool and fun
2:30 50% of the CTFs I've not completed...is a result of me not following the \"one\" idea I had before giving up and looking for the write up. So I appreciate you pointing out that you should try and include everyone you think and do during the CTF. Thanks for the video :)
As a beginner, I find it hard to look for topics to learn. I don't even recognize the terms used in a writeup. But I am learning slowly. Thanks for the good advice. I have found two people so far in youtube from whom I enjoy learning. You are one of them.
I recently thought of starting CTFs as practice and fun , I really enjoy your videos . One thing though , I think volume is quite low , I would suggest moving mic closer or something so we can listen better ..
What I need to know before I can do my first CTF? Do I have to be advanced or maybe an expert? Or could a person who for example never thought about programming an shacking start doing CTFs?
can you give us a picture of the things you already knew before you started playing CTFS, like coding experience you had, (prerequisites and the basic required knowledge in other words )
I'm trying to do the Over The Wire AdventCTF and I feel like I can sorta understand 2 of them but it's so so hard since I still don't know many things. I'll try my best till the end of the month.
So the process is something like find the challenge, do your best take notes etc, and then.. whatever the result is.. look at the writeups and learn from them?
I recommend paper & pen unless you are dealing with some crypto stuff where you have huge numbers, that you could copy&paste. In that case obviously notepad is a better idea.
Then there's those of us that wonder what basic skills do one need to start a CTF, is there a ctf for dummies or walkthrough for at least the mindset? Don't really want to sit and read writeups in the hope of getting it without an idea of what I ought to be looking for.
The basic skills for participating in a ctf is being able to use google. No really though, if you are a beginner who has minimal knowledge about hacking/doing ctfs the best u can do is to just find one or two challenges and not focus on getting the flag but more on the process of how u tried solving it. A lot of times hacking means doing intensive research and acquiring new skills to use them to your advantage. Try solving a few picoCTF challenges, that's a good start.
Hello ! I do not have enough time to spend 2 hours on a ctf .. so I try to solve challenges on www.root-me.org regularly and when I have no idea how to do I'm stuck and finally I give up and I move on to another challenge. I do not think it's very constructive to give up on these things because it's precisely on these challenges that I'm supposed to learn the most. How could I still learn from these challenges? Asking for the answer directly does not seem to be a very good solution, and when I ask for help on the root-me irc, even when I just ask a little help to know a little better what to do without give me the answer, at the slightest hint I know what to do next as if I had been given the answer (I mean that I almost feel that I get too big a hint and that it is ultimately not constructive at all for me).

How do you think Reverse engineering is affected by stack canaries. I have some videos in the binary exploitaion playlist about stack canaries. But do you have a more specific question? Stack canaries are pretty simple and it’s pretty clear what they protect against and what not. Need more info to tell you more
if anyone can help ..... I started playing the Bandit Wargame by Overthewire. I reached Bandit Level 12 → Level 13 after repeatedly reading the Level Goal, man page of suggested commands, scratching my head alot and with some time spending on reading the writeups. but after this level i.e from Bandit Level 13 → Level 14 I just lost the track (this is where the tools such as netcat, nmap got introduced). Even after reading the writeups Im find it hard to really understand the concept. if anyone reading this I hope that you could tell me what did I miss ? I mean what topics should I look into to get getter from here. Thanks
Have you managed to successfully cap any flags in the 11 months since you commented this? If you're still looking for ways to get into this for a complete beginner (which I pretty much am too,) I've been watching bunch of his videos, learning some more coding in general (you can have fun making some little software or arduino or some kinda projects in the process, and that will help improve your hacking intuition too), and if you want a CTF that has some *really* easy beginner problems with lots of write ups and a primer document to read along side it, I'd recommend picoCTF. I'm a beginner rn and I've been working my way through it recently!
m new to Programming and coding , plsss tell me which is more competitive and which improves ur logic better , competitive Programming or CTF , or is there anymore computer related game, plsss let me know , I wanna know more , here in my place its not so develop, n wat are the career scope for both of these
Should i use kali as primary os or on vmware Because after installing kali as primary os i am getting worst battery backup i tried all things like tlp powertop but nothing helps its having amd graphics driver problem it doesnt support what should i do
What could be the prerequisite for this? It’s been only 4 months since I started this and I’m still struggling with pwnable.kr, how2heap and your videos.
Can you also recommend other CTF platforms like Cherryblog or HackTheBox? Because sometimes there aren't that many writeups or in case of HackTheBox, they are actually way to hard for me

If I may ask, how did you start your pen test / hacking journey? There's so much info out there I don't know where to start.
Arrogance is often used as a tool to obfuscate one's shortcomings. There are way too many frauds and confidence tricksters in any field.
@@hansrichter5227 I find it very easy to ignore these types, their arrogance just bores the hell out of me.
you can make a team with me i know its kinda late but i am not rude at all and can accompany you with learning by learning myself

Love your idea of sweet spot in terms of challenge level and anticipated difficulty.
That mentality should be applied to everything
Thanks for the video. I think it was a turning point in my life, to some degree) The information is more than enough to begin your way to the hacking
Man your these format of vedios are super useful please keep it on.😊👍
There are also on going CTFs like ctflearn.com. You can do the easy ones just for fun or learn something with the hard ones.
PicoCTF is another one
How many videos did you film in one day?
Also thumbs up for the Sauercloud Tshirt!
Thank you so much for uploading videos daily, your videos are always great
Love your channel bro
You literally answered all my questions.
THANKYOU.
Thank you for explaining this! I was thinking of trying CTF just for fun and now I at least know what to expect😊
Thank you! Your video tutorials are very very useful and i am very happy you are doing them!
Best explanation ever and so much to relate to. Thank you so much !!
What I need to know before I can do my first CTF? Do I have to be advanced or maybe an expert? Or could a person who for example never thought about programming an shacking start doing CTFs?
Depends which category do you choose, if it is reverse, you need some asm knowledge.
I recommend you to learn linux CLI basics to start.
Tryhackme is really good for beginers.
