| description | This research paper explores the development and implementation of a comprehensive Capture the Flag (CTF) guide aimed at enhancing cybersecurity education for students at Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR). Motivated by the growing gap between theoretical cybersecurity knowledge and the practical skills required to navigate the complexities of real-world cyber threats, this project introduces an innovative, easy-to- understand CTF guide. The guide is designed to cater to both beginners and advanced learners to cover a wide range of cybersecurity topics including web application security, reverse engineering, digital forensics, cryptography, and steganography through hands-on challenges that simulate authentic cybersecurity scenarios. By providing a dynamic learning platform that bridges academic learning with practical application, this initiative not only aims to equip UTAR students with critical technical skills but also to inspire a deeper interest in cybersecurity while encouraging more students to pursue careers in this vital field. The project contributes significantly to cybersecurity education research, offering insights that can inform future educational initiatives and support the integration of practical cybersecurity exercises into academic curricula. |
