Cipher Text Analysis 🕸🕸🎃🕸🕸
Today, we are going to go over something fun, and do a CTF, one which involves cipher analysis and a bit of binary analysis in order to solve it. This is also going to cover a bit of obfuscation techniques such as using an encoder to mask the contents of the file to change it’s overall file structure and throw off security systems.

🕸 Synopsis 🕸
Today, I'm going to talk more about ransomware attacks and how to prevent them. This is to raise more awareness on proper Cyber Security data Hygiene methods, as well as other techniques that can be used to prevent any real damage should this attack connect. This article is also going to feature some of my formal QA answers from a recent interview I did most recently.

A giant chunk of the demonstration for today is going to mostly be video, but the article is going to explain what I’m doing in the video as you watch me solve the challenge LIVE.
In the patreon version I tell you where the CTF comes from which is MAJOR info if you are looking for a potential interview.
What is a CTF(Capture The Flag)? 🕸🕸🎃🕸🕸
CTF’s are a series of competition style challenges where hackers exploit vulnerabilities in order to acquire a series of flags.
It’s designed as a testing ground where hackers can hone their skills and practice finding real vulnerabilities on real vulnerable systems to practice what they know, securing them a flag in the process. It’s the best form of practice, while also keeping it ethical and legal.
