CTF challenges are usually categorized into one of these broad groups, and although at times they may be labeled, it is usually up to the competitor to find out what type of challenge it is. Here are some broad guidelines to finding out what type of challenge is presented:

1. Is the challenge given as a web link? If following the link does not download a file, the challenge is most likely a [web](./web/) one.

##About

Web challenges in CTF competitions usually involve the use of HTTP (or similar protocols) and technologies involved in information transfer and display over the internet like PHP, CMS's (e.g. Django), SQL, Javascript, and more. There are many tools used to access and interact with the web tasks, and choosing the right one is a major facet of the challenges. Although web browsers are the most common and well known way of interacting with the internet, tools like `curl` and `nc` allow for extra options and parameters to be passed and utilized.
