A community-maintained archive of CTF (capture the flag) write-ups and challenge source files, organized by year from 2013 to 2017. It centralizes solutions that would otherwise be scattered across personal blogs and often lost.

Use cases

  • find write-ups for a past CTF competition
  • learn how to solve capture the flag challenges
  • study security challenges as a beginner
  • recover original challenge files for a CTF
  • contribute my own CTF solution write-up

When to choose

  • you need solutions or challenge files from CTFs held in 2013-2017
  • you want complete, community-reviewed explanations suitable for newcomers
  • you want a permanent archive that won't disappear like personal blogs

When to avoid

  • you need write-ups for CTFs after 2017, as this archive is no longer updated
  • you want an interactive CTF practice platform rather than written solutions
  • you need a tool or library rather than a reference collection
