Testimonials From Our Users

Parrot CTFs takes a no bullshit approach to ctfs. They provide real world scenarios with realistic vulnerabilities for a reasonable price.

Parrot CTFs is a good platform because it differs from other popular platforms with much less CTF-focused and much more realistic challenges.

After finishing almost all the free machines I can say that I really liked the enumeration part, it has helped me to understand a little better that this is the most important part of a pentest.
