I like picoCTF as well, it has lots of beginner friendly challenges in all categories

[SirArtanis]

I've been wondering how to get started, thank you kindly

[TRckY_TV]

thank you man!
as you said sometimes we might end it with alot of "theoritical" knowledge without internalizing it (especially with watching alot of courses) and I've always wanted to give CTFs a start but didn't know where to start...

now I have no excuses and I'll definitely try them out!
