The CTF Field Guide is a free online book by Trail of Bits that teaches how to win Capture The Flag security competitions. It covers vulnerability discovery, exploit creation, toolkit building, and operational tradecraft with walkthroughs and curated references.
Use cases
- learn how to compete in CTF challenges
- study vulnerability discovery and exploit development
- build a personal security toolkit for CTFs
- find reference materials for reverse engineering and pwn challenges
- prepare for a career in offensive security
When to choose
- you are new to CTF competitions and want structured guidance
- you want curated expert references on exploitation and tradecraft
- you are transitioning into computer security and want offensive fundamentals
When to avoid
- you need a runnable tool rather than educational material
- you want defensive security or blue-team training
- you need up-to-date coverage of the latest CTF metas without supplementing with newer resources
