picoCTF Hacker + Teacher Walkthrough
This is a collaboration between a tech teacher / robotics engineer (Sanjin) and a hacker with years of CTF experience (Stuffy). The goal of the collaboration is to provide a really well explained set of walkthroughs for the picoCTF General Skills Challenges.
Sanjin asks the questions that beginners will be asking and tries to get stuffy to clarify why a particular method is used and most importantly where in the real world do hackers use these skills.

About me
I have been a technology enthusiast from as long as I can remember with a special love for robots. I completed my Robotics degree at A.N.U and majored in Computer Vision. In 2012 after 5 years working as a Design Engineer, I decided to get into education. My first passion was bringing Arduino Programming and 3D printing to schools but I as the years went by Python became my new favourite toy for creating text based applications like chatbots and 2D games. Since 2015 I have been teaching part time while authoring books and online courses used by tens of thousands of students across Australia as well as doing extensive teaching training in collaboration with Digital Learning and Teaching Victoria.
About Head Start Academy
I believe that coding is an extremely useful and universally valued skill. Today most students in Australia experience some coding in school or in after school programs. Some students enjoy it immensely and are left wanting more, these are the students I want to help. My goal is to build on that enthusiasm, introduce them to like minded peers and help them learn the skills and habits that will set them on a path to excellence in Computer Science.
In our classes students will experience the following:
• Small group learning: 6 - 12 students
• Instruction from an educator who has university level qualifications in both education and Digital Technologies
• Minute by minute peer and instructor feedback on their code
• Lifetime access to learning materials (videos + pdf guides) for all the content covered
• Research skills and best practice use of coding websites like Stack Overflow and GitHub

This is a very good video, I'm kinda mad that it doesn't have a lot of views. You guys really helped a lot, thanks for this!

[@SanjinDedic]

Thank you, support means a lot, especially for my new Cyber content!
As for views a lot of it is my fault as I am not consistent with content (I do it during school holidays). Hopefully with some support I can get some love from the algorithm.

Please make a vanilla js tutorial Sanjin

[@SanjinDedic]

What do you mean by vanilla tutorial?

[@unknownman5296]

@@SanjinDedic Javascript, html, and css

[@SanjinDedic]

@@unknownman5296 There will be plenty of inspection of HTML / CSS / JavaScript in future tutorials (already recorded) this will be Capture the Flag stuff! If you want to learn the very basics check out W3 schools website
