Great video, can you please tell me how you`ve managed to learn python for the purpose of ctf`s?I mean the link manipulation, the page split etc.

[@MicrowaveSam]

When I was a student in university, I started to learn Python from the experts of our local hackerspace. There were many talented students who were into security CTFs, and they all mainly used Python. They knew the specific tricks. They showed me how to solve basic challenges with Python. After learning link manipulation, page split, etc. from them, they encouraged me to learn how to Google things while I'm working on problems. If I wanted to remove all the spaces in a string, and I didn't know how to do it already, then they said that I should just Google "python how to remove white space" if I have no one to ask.

Thank you for you answer and your willingness.You earned a subscriber, keep going my friend.

Two questions - are the “hard stuff” flags counted in that number of 10? And secondly, is the SSH flag still valid? On the other video you posted, no one was able to get in. Just curious is y’all had stopped that one or not

[@brunodonascimentomaciel9984]

why when i try to download the hardstuff.zip i got an error: the page not found 404? you know how to fix it? i am lost.
