How to Hack: Live CTF Walkthrough - SecTalks SYD0x5C (92nd)

After the positive feedback we received for a recent CTF walk-through, which was insanely difficult, we decided to bring back another walk-through, but a much simpler one this time. This will be an interactive walk-through/workshop, so there wouldn't be any slides.

Thank you for:

1. Keeping your RSVP up-to-date. We are usually over booked and have a long waitlist. We will sign you in and keep track of RSVPs attendance.

2. Aligning with SecTalks no-bullshit code of conduct

3. Keeping the venue nice and tidy during and after the session

# Presentation

Title: How to Hack - Live CTF Walkthrough (Easy)

In this interactive walkthrough, we'll be going through a few easy CTF challenges from your standard CTF challenge categories such as Web, Pwn, Crypto, Rev and Forensics.

This won't be a typical talk format, so don't expect there to be any slides! Instead, what you can expect is a live interactive session where we go through the challenges together, or deal with the technical difficulties when everything goes wrong!

The challenges we'll be going through won't be picked and chosen beforehand, we'll be going through them blind to make it as authentic as possible. Although there will be some technical topics involved, the aim isn't to teach you something technical but the thought process or approach that's involved.

For each challenge I would also like an audience member to come up and get a little hands on, anyone is welcome so if this is something you'd be interested in please reach out beforehand!
