About Red Team vs Blue Team
Red Team vs Blue Team is an attack-and-defense cybersecurity competition where participants experience both offensive and defensive operations in a realistic, controlled lab environment.
Teams are randomly assigned as either Red Team or Blue Team. The Red Team identifies and exploits vulnerabilities in designated web applications to capture flags, while the Blue Team analyzes logs, detects malicious activities, and reconstructs attack scenarios.
