CryptoKait
Want to start your very own NCL team at your college or university? CryptoKait shows you how with these take-home materials from her workshop at the 2018 WiCyS conference. In case you missed it, the first part was recorded, and CryptoKait's NCL Coaching Guide is the ultimate standalone resource!
Before there was NCL... there was a little girl playing interactive Nancy Drew games, quietly practicing cryptography without even realizing it was a cyber skill.(*) Now that she's grown, and with a handle like CryptoKait, you know this is one introduction to cryptography that you shouldn't miss!
[Taisa here. Boy-howdy, taking a few minutes to read this would have saved me hours in NCL!]
This was the behind-the-scenes, CTF101 workshop that CryptoKait had been looking forward to all week! Her friend and fellow attendee, Lizzie Molloy, took these notes on how to approach CTF challenges, with a focus on cryptography, networks, web apps, and binaries, but the underlying problem-solving strategies are universal.
CryptoKait's first prep guide for the NCL in 2017 remains a relevant read! A brief introduction to the Games is followed by beginner-friendly toolkit suggestions structured by domain. Plus, it's fun to go back and see what has and hasn't changed!
