CTF Challenges

Hack. Capture. Dominate.

Real-world CTF challenges — web security, cryptography, forensics, reverse engineering, and network hacking.

intermediate
10pts

Reverse Shell Challenge

You've found a command injection vulnerability on a server. **Question:** What netcat command would you use to set up a listener on port 4444 to catch a reverse shell? The flag is the exact netcat command (common format). **Flag format:** CYBERLAB{nc_<options>_<port>} **Note:** This is educational - never use against systems without permission!

penetration testing

SQL Injection Login Bypass

The login page at `vuln.cyberlab.local/login` is vulnerable to SQL injection. **Your mission:** 1. Bypass the login without knowing credentials 2. Access the admin dashboard 3. Find the flag displayed after successful login **Remember the classic:** ``` Username: admin'-- Password: anything ``` Think about how SQL queries work and how to manipulate them.

web security
beginner
10pts

Hidden in Plain Sight

A file was found on a suspect's computer. The investigator says there might be something hidden inside. **File location:** `/challenges/stego/hidden.jpg` Or use this simulated scenario: The flag is hidden using ROT13 encoding in this text: ``` PLOOREYN0{e0g13_vf_whfg_n_fuvsg} ``` **Note:** ROT13 shifts each letter by 13 positions in the alphabet. Find and submit the hidden flag.

forensics
beginner
10pts

Web Directory Discovery

The web server at `web.cyberlab.local` has a hidden admin panel. **Your mission:** 1. Use directory enumeration to find hidden paths 2. Locate the admin panel 3. Find the flag in the admin page **Tools to use:** dirb, gobuster, or nikto Remember: Common paths include /admin, /administrator, /login, /backup, etc.

web security

Crack the Hash

During a penetration test, you found a password hash in the database: ``` 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 ``` **Your mission:** 1. Identify the hash type 2. Crack the hash 3. The cracked password is part of the flag **Flag format:** CYBERLAB{cracked_<password>} Use tools like hashcat, john, or online hash databases.

cryptography
beginner
10pts

Base64 Basics

Welcome to your first challenge! Someone encoded a secret message using Base64. Can you decode it? **Encoded message:** ``` Q1lCRVJMQUJ7YjRzM182NF9pc19ub3RfM25jcnlwdDEwbn0= ``` **Hint:** Base64 is an encoding scheme, not encryption. Use the `base64` command or online tools to decode it. Submit the decoded flag in the format: CYBERLAB{...}

AI Guided Solver — New Feature

Stuck? Let AI Guide You Step-by-Step.

Our AI Guided Solver watches you hack — and when you're stuck, it automatically runs the right tools, shows every command, explains each step, and teaches you how the vulnerability works. You don't just get the flag — you learn exactly how it was found.

🔍

Auto-Enumeration

AI runs nmap, gobuster, nikto automatically on the target and maps all attack surface.

🎯

Smart Exploit Selection

Picks the right tool (SQLMap, Burp, Hydra) based on what it finds — no manual guessing.

📖

Learn While You Watch

Every command is explained. See WHY each step is taken, not just what to type.
