XDA ☛ How to mount in Ubuntu
There are a lot of tasks you'll come across during everyday use of the Ubuntu operating system, and the many other great Linux distributions. One of the most common is mounting drives, either internal or external ones like a solid-state drive or a portable USB drive. Mounting a drive makes it more accessible for read/write operations to Ubuntu in the root file system, which is the deeper part of your operating system. It will give it a directory on Ubuntu, and what's known as a mount point.

HowTo Geek ☛ I Started Playing CTFs and They Are My New Hobby
A CTF, short for Capture the Flag, is a type of competition designed to challenge participants in the field of computer security. The goal is to capture virtual flags, often in the form of text in the leet format. These flags are hidden within various systems, applications, or files. By solving security-related problems, you can retrieve these flags and earn points by submitting them.
At its core, a CTF is both a learning tool and a game, making it a fun and interactive way to dive into cybersecurity, whether you're a beginner or a seasoned professional. CTFs usually come in three categories: Jeopardy-style, Attack-defense, and Mixed or King of the Hill.
