Learn To Hack

Welcome to Learn_To_Hack! This repository is dedicated to building a comprehensive, open-source guide/handbook for anyone interested in learning CyberSecurity and participating in Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions.

🚩 Project Vision

Our goal is to create a complete, community-driven handbook that covers everything from basic setups and theory to hands-on challenges. The content is organized into topic-based folders, and new topics will be added as the field evolves.

📂 How this works

Each topic folder contains:

• Tasks: Guided learning activities, explanations.
• Challenges: Practical problems to reinforce your understanding.

More folders and topics will be added in the future to keep the handbook up to date.
