CTF Hacking Competitions

Immersive, narrative-driven cybersecurity challenges that transform technical skills into real-world expertise

Redefining CTF Competitions

At Exploit3rs, we've evolved the traditional Capture The Flag format into immersive learning journeys that do more than test technical skills—they develop cybersecurity professionals.

Our CTF competitions blend technical challenges with compelling narratives, creating engaging scenarios that simulate real-world cybersecurity situations. Participants don't just solve puzzles; they navigate complex attack vectors, uncover vulnerabilities, and implement defense strategies in contextually rich environments.

Whether you're an educational institution looking to enhance your curriculum or an organization seeking to strengthen your security team's capabilities, our CTF competitions deliver practical, memorable learning experiences.

Cryptographic Failures - Plaintext Secrets

10

You've discovered a tech blog with questionable security practices. The developer has stored critical encryption keys in client-accessible JavaScript files. Your mission is to identify these keys and use them to decrypt sensitive information being transferred in the background.

Examine the source code, network traffic, and console logs to find what the developers failed to protect.
