Create a Tool Set for CTFs
Overview
Develop a set of useful tools to be used during Capture the Flag (CTF) competitions.
CTF competitions test skills across categories including web exploitation, reverse engineering, cryptography, forensics, and binary exploitation. Building a personal toolkit — scripts, wordlists, cheat sheets, and automation tools — gives you a reusable foundation that improves your speed and efficiency across future competitions.
Project Recommendations
It is recommended you have a foundational understanding of the Linux command line, basic scripting ability in Python or Bash, and exposure to at least one CTF platform. Start by identifying the tools you reach for most often, then write wrapper scripts or automation around them. Document everything in a GitHub repository for easy access during competitions.
