The hands-on Capture-the-Flag track for ICOA 2026 (Sydney). Master the command line and "good-enough" Python, then attack across all five olympiad domains. Designed for students who have never written a line of code — every tool taught from zero.
Everything a beginner needs to walk into a live CTF and capture real flags.
The 15 core commands drilled to reflex — because the competition runs entirely in the command line.
Not programming — filling templates. Read files, send requests, solve RSA, all from copy-and-adapt recipes.
Crypto, Web, Forensics, Reversing/Pwn and AI security — every flag type the olympiad throws at you.
Three replayable games (50+ questions each, 5 lives) that turn commands into muscle memory.
Two foundation tracks build the tools; the challenge games make them automatic.
The bedrock — almost every challenge starts at the command line.
Not programming — filling templates and changing parameters.
Three games you replay until the commands become automatic — each keeps your personal record.
