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.
