CTF Notes

There are a number of CTF Games for OSINT enthusiasts designed to help focus search and critical thinking skills. The purpose of these pages is for me to talk my way through how I worked through some of these CTF challenges. Being that I’m a newbie, there may have been easier/more direct ways to work through the challenges presented in the CTFs.

The CTFs that I have worked on include:

• Cyber Investigator CTF created by the Cyber Society at Cardiff University, UK
• OSINT Challenge from The Cyber Institute
• Sourcing.Games

Note: The CTF Notes I post here will contain spoilers. Some of the solutions that I came up with took hours to complete. Don’t expect them all to be easy. If you’re looking for an easy way to get through them, then you’re only cheating yourself. If you want to be challenged and to learn, then don’t use them to cheat yourself out of practice.
