Abstract

Cybersecurity is widely recognized as a field with a higher difficulty level compared to other areas in computer science. It demands a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical experience. One of the best ways to gain hands-on experience in cybersecurity is through participating in Capture the Flag (CTF) events. CTF events not only challenge individuals but also foster healthy competition among students, enabling them to learn, improve, and enhance their skills in a dynamic environment. Existing CTF platforms often lack regular hosting of challenges, and the available challenges may not cater specifically to beginners who have recently chosen cybersecurity as their field of study. However, at Alliance University, where cybersecurity has been introduced as a BTech specialization, the development of a dedicated CTF platform can prove immensely beneficial in shaping students' careers. This platform exclusively serves Alliance University students, ensuring that they feel comfortable and supported while tackling the challenges.
