How a CTF player think's ?

first lets see what are the type of teams are there :-

The “attacking” team in cybersecurity exercises is known as a Red Team. Their job is to adopt the methods and simulate the kinds of attacks that actual adversaries might use against an organization. The defenders in these scenarios are the Blue Team. The point of conducting red team/blue team exercises is to improve the security posture of the organization, not to cause actual damage. Related terms include “offensive security” (again, implying an attacking posture) and “pen test” (attempting to penetrate computer or cybersecurity defenses) .

 

CTF player what he is actually skilled in ?

well , to become a CTF player you have to  think by both red team and blue team perspective .Suppose if u are given a challenge and if u have to solve it u first check how the thing works .

After that the ctf player first think from blueteam mindset that how this thing can be protected and also from the red team perspecitve of how to exploit it

like making an attack path by studying the  security infrastructor .

 

SO TO BREAK INTO THINGS YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTANDS IT WORKING
