Welcome to our South Hills School of Business & Technology mini-course on Hacking the CTF! Here you'll get an overview on some basics of computer security and you'll learn something by attempting to solve these challenges yourself. The fact that you made it here shows you are a ***hacker***, ***builder***, and ***maker***, so lets create and secure the technology that is everywhere we look! {% embed url="" %}
