Challenge Count

  Even though they’ve just been the easy challenges so far, I feel like I’ve been learning a lot from the picoCTF challenges I’ve completed. In the practice section, they have many challenges graded easy, medium, and hard available to complete. At posting one challenge write up each day, getting through the easy challenges will take me to the beginning of November, the medium challenges will take me through mid-May, and the hard challenges will take me to almost the end of July.

  If I wanted to compete in the next picoCTF competition, which was last held in mid-March, I would be around 2/3 done with the medium challenges in the picoGym by the time it was time to compete. Depending on how confident I’m feeling, I may, or I may wait until 2026 and I’ve gotten a chance to build up to the hard grated challenges.
