capture the flag (ctf) placements
A CTF (Capture The Flag) is a cybersecurity game where you solve puzzles and hack intentionally vulnerable systems to find hidden strings called “flags”. It's one of the best ways to build real ethical-hacking skills - and a hobby that's consumed more weekends than I'd like to admit 😅
