What is the Google Capture The Flag Competition?
Capture The Flag” (CTF) competitions, in the cybersecurity sense, are not related to playing outdoor running or traditional computer games. Instead, they consist of a set of computer security puzzles, or challenges, involving reverse-engineering, memory corruption, cryptography, web technologies, and more. When players solve them they get a “flag,” a secret string which can be exchanged for points. The more points a team earns, the higher up it moves in rank.

The additional prizes for the top four teams of the speedrunning stage were 3,000, 2,000, 1,000, and 500 USD.
At Google, we believe that CTFs are a good way for security pros to get better at what they do and a fun way to get into the cybersecurity field.
That’s why, along with the main Google CTF competition, there will be some beginner tasks for folks wanting to get started.
In addition, the speed-running competition will be recorded, narrated, and presented online.
