CTFs
A Capture the Flag challenge is a type of competition where participants solve challenges related to cybersecurity to obtain “flags,” which are like virtual trophies. It’s a hands-on, gamified way for individuals and teams to test their cybersecurity skills, learn new techniques, and have fun while doing it.
GPTs
A Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) is a more recent type of advanced artificial intelligence model developed primarily for generating and understanding human-like text. It’s like having a highly intelligent text-based assistant that can answer questions, create content, translate languages, summarize text, and more.
- Code Copilot: Code Smarter, Build Faster—With the Expertise of a 10x Programmer by Your Side.
- Cover Letter By masterinterview.ai: Boost interviews with compelling cover letters tailored to job applications—simple, quick, effective.
- Python By Maryam Eskandari: A Python assistant for all skills levels, pre-trained on python.org and stackoverflow.com.
- Python By Nicholas Barker: A highly sophisticated GPT tailored for Python programmers. Optimized for GPT-4o.
History
- 1988 The Morris Worm: Created by Robert Tappan Morris, this was one of the first major worms to spread via the internet, causing significant disruptions and illustrating the vulnerability of connected systems.
- 2000 The “ILOVEYOU” Virus: A computer worm disguised as a love letter email attachment that spread rapidly worldwide, causing billions of dollars in estimated damages by overwriting files and mailing itself to contacts.
- 2007 Estonia Cyberattacks: A series of coordinated DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks crippled government, bank, and media websites in Estonia, marking one of the first large-scale cyberattacks on a nation.
Labs
OffSec
Offensive Security (OffSec) is a proactive, adversarial approach to cybersecurity, focusing on identifying and exploiting flaws in systems, networks, or applications to enhance their security. The goal of offensive security is to think and act like an attacker to identify weaknesses before they can be exploited.

War Games
War Games are simulated exercises designed to test and enhance an organization’s ability to handle cyber threats and incidents. These exercises typically involve scenarios that mimic real-world attacks, allowing teams to practice their defensive (and sometimes offensive) skills in a controlled environment.
Think of War Games as a cybersecurity boot camp—a combination of strategy, tactics, and hands-on problem-solving where participants learn by doing.

Writeups
Writeups are a detailed technical document describing the process of solving a particular challenge, exploit, or security problem in the corporate and academic world. Writeups are typically created after solving CTF challenges, building labs, or as lessons learned from real-world security incidents. They serve as an educational resource, helping the community to understand the steps, tools, and thought processes involved in identifying and addressing vulnerabilities or solving complex technical problems.
