CTF Challenges. Practice solving real cases. Under real pressure.
Sharpen your forensic skills with realistic CTF Challenges
Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges are a core part of our training programs. Built on real data and case-inspired scenarios, they give you practical experience with mobile artifacts, encrypted containers, backup files, and more. These exercises help reinforce core concepts, and prepare you for real-world forensic work. CTFs are included in our programs, and we also host public challenges to support continuous learning in the wider forensic community.
Put your SQLite skills to the test
Experience CTF challenges in our SQLite Forensics course where each lesson ends with a CTF challenge that tests the skills you’ve learned. Passing the each challenge unlocks the next stages of the course proving you’ve mastered the lesson topics. The course is available Live Online and OnDemand.
Built into our courses
No matter the learning format, each Elusive Data course includes CTFs to reinforce key skills, from decrypting backups to finding key evidence in app databases. They are short, focused, and designed to help you apply what you have just learned.
For teams
We also create custom CTFs for teams that want a challenge tailored to their tools and priorities. Whether you are training new hires or refreshing senior staff, we will help you create a meaningful hands-on experience.
Run a CTF for your team. We can adapt the challenge to your organisation, experience level, tools, learning objectives, and available training time.
