🏳️ The CTF scene is dead - https://kabir.au

｢ CTF players have always used tools. The issue is when the model does the reasoning, writes the solve, and leaves the human with nothing meaningful to do besides copy the flag ｣

Frontier AI has broken the open CTF format

최근 AI 대형 언어 모델(LLM)들이 CTF(해킹 대회) 문제를 자동으로 해결하면서 전통적인 CTF 경쟁 구도가 무너지고 있다. GPT-4 이후 중간 난이도 문제들이 AI로 한 번에 풀리는 현상이 나타났고, Claude Opus 4.5와 GPT-5.5 Pro 같은 최신 모델들은 심지어 고난도 문제도 자동 해결 가능해져, AI를 활용하지 않는 팀은 경쟁에서 뒤처지게 되었다. 이로 인해 CTF는 AI 오케스트레이션 경쟁으로 변질되며, 초보자 학습과 보안 실력 평가 수단으로서의 의미가 약화되고 있다. 대회 주최자들은 AI 대응책 마련에 어려움을 겪고 있으며, 기존 CTF 문화와 생태계가 크게 위축되고 있다.

https://kabir.au/blog/the-ctf-scene-is-dead - potwierdzam, w którymś z CTFów w którym niedawno brałem udział wszystkie zadania zrobiło duże kilkadziesiąt zespołów. Kiedyś sytuacja nie do pomyślenia. #llm #ai #ctf #security

🌗 CTF 賽事已死：AI 如何摧毀資安競技的價值
➤ 當「解題」變成了「拼算力」，資安競技的未來何去何從？
✤ https://kabir.au/blog/the-ctf-scene-is-dead
曾經是資安領域人才搖籃與實力衡量指標的 CTF 競賽，正因 frontier AI（前沿人工智慧）的崛起而面臨崩解。作者以資深參賽者的視角指出，隨著 AI 模型具備自動推理、編寫解題腳本的能力，過去仰賴人類直覺與技巧的「解題」過程，已被大規模的自動化運算取代。這不僅讓排行榜失去公正性，更讓初學者陷入「未經磨練便過度依賴工具」的惡性循環。當比賽演變成「比拼誰能負擔更多模型算力與編排自動化」的軍備競賽時，CTF 作為人才選拔與技術藝術的初衷已蕩然無存。
+ 這篇文章點出了目前的慘狀。現在進去打比賽，看到排行榜上那些隊伍的解題速度，心裡很清楚大部分都是 AI 跑出來的，根本沒人想再認真比賽。
+ 很有共鳴。以前打 CTF 是為了那種「終於解出來」的成就感，現在變成比誰的 prompt 寫得好、API 接得快，這完全失去了資安研究的本質

🚨 BREAKING: #Young #prodigy declares #CTF scene dead after #AI dares to outperform his l33t h4x0r sk1llz 🤯. In other #news, apparently, 2-hour puzzle-solving is the new benchmark for expert analysis and industry #obsolescence 🥱. If only AI could solve the enigma of why anyone should care. 🙄
