Saw this on Joe McCray's twitter today:
http://strategicsec.com/2012/10/04/your-first-ctf/
It's geared towards newbies, but it's not free. Thought I'd share for those interested in practicing.

I am considering this, seems like it would be fun. I like the idea of the training before the actual CTF. I have yet to participate in one and when I have attempted, I am just at a loss (or just can't get on long enough to search because some a$$ is dropping the connections). 75 bucks for the training and CTF registration.

If I get a new Credit Card in time to sign up I will be. (Glaring at The Pub in Louisville, even if it is 350+ miles away).
Actually quick conversation with Joe on Twitter, if you're going ot be doing CCDC this year (I could but mentoring instead at school), he says this will help.

I was thinking about signing up to this last night since I found it. But my thing is I never done anything like that or played that. I heard it's lots of fun.
Last night and this morning I been trying to find out what skills you need or some kind of information on how to play..
You could say I'm a n00b to ctf thing.

Malachi,
I would assume if you sign up for the class... he'll teach you the skills to play.
From the site:
"From October 22nd – November 11th I’ll provide you with access to the Strategic Sec lab network that will be full of challenges with explanations and step-by-step walkthroughs for each challenge."

It does say for newbies, and you get a month of training. During that time you should be able to evaluate your skillset and determine what your weaknesses are.
I just noticed too that the winners of the CTF get to take a Strategic Security course of their choosing for free. Seems like a good deal.

Signed up for both. Mainly because I am interested in how a CTF is conducted. Just seems like a fun activity to do and I am always intimidated by the ones that happen at the Cons and other events.

I'm signed up too. More interested in learning than winning anything.
If we don't care about winning, maybe we should set up an EH-Net team (we'd probably win anyway
).

I'd be game for that, same thing, don't care so much about winning, but would love to get the skills down a little.

I am not a pro on pentesting nor an infosec gur yet. I have been doing network administration and some security. I have done my Sec+ , do you think this training on ctf will be helpful for someone newbie like me?? I know this question or sth similar to it has been asked but want to get more idea from you awesome professional guys to get me going

from you awesome professional guys
Way to butter us up.
But yeah, you'll get clues. I'm not a pen-tester. I really only do CTFs to get an idea of some of the attack to make my defense better. Heck the talk I've been giving at Cons this year, came out of the RuCTFe last year.
