A Russian-language site from the TaipanByte team holding roughly a hundred tasks across the main categories. The format is a plain CTF archive: statement, flag, submission through an account. No leaderboard pressure and no season running.
Pros & cons
Pros
- All the main categories under one roof, including the rarer ones
- The archive stays open after the event, so nothing expires
- Free, and the statements read in Russian
Cons
- Submitting a flag requires an account
- English terms inside statements are often left untranslated
- The task list changes slowly, so a full pass does not take long
Who it fits
Fits someone who wants a Russian-language archive to grind through alone, without tying practice to a competition schedule. Less useful once you need material fresh enough to be unfamiliar.
Getting started
- Register, then start with the misc tasks, they are the shortest to close
- Solve each task to the end, not just to the flag: some of them contain a trap
- Compare against the writeup, since a few tasks use non-standard primitives
History
Grew out of the TaipanByte competitions and now serves as both an archive and a venue for their own events. The count has hovered around a hundred for a while. The site renders through JavaScript with no public counter, so that number stays an estimate rather than something you can check.
