About “beginner” challenges

If you are unfamiliar with CTF, we highly recommend you to first take a look at the challenges with "beginner" tag. They will be released at the same time as the CTF launch.

In TSG CTF, Beginner's tasks are not "beginner-level challenges." We define a beginner's task as a challenge that does not require any experience or knowledge specific to CTF, but can be solved with knowledge that even a beginner has. Please don't be discouraged if you can't solve a "beginner's task". At times it can be hard!

Release Schedule

Disclaimer: This schedule is tentative. We will make the best effort to deliver these challenges as planned. However any changes are expected anytime.
