How do I start learning CTFs?
​
Okay so I'm a cybersecurity student and I wanted to get started with CTFs and stuff. But I'm feeling really lost and could use some help.
So I've heard people recommend picoCTF, tryhackme, hack the box etc. to practice CTFs. Okay but where do I LEARN? Everybody tells you these websites but they don't actually teach how to do them especially as someone who's completely new to them
So what I'm asking is what are good sources to learn CTFs? Any websites or YouTube sources or anything?
And then for practice what do you reccomend? What websites, rooms etc are best for practice as a complete absolute beginner.
Please give tips for what sources you used and that worked for you when you were starting out with CTFs. Any sort of advice would be appreciated 🫶
