Was I the only one who found it hard to figure out what CTF referred to here without having to actually look at the code? I haven't actually looked at a collaborative translation framework before, besides wondering what ctfmon.exe was in my task manager.

My everyday experience with the acronym has been in the context of Capture The Flag, and given that it originated with FPS games (Quake, Unreal, etc), the name pwntools makes it only further misleading (or was it supposed to be clever?). I would have appreciated the github readme filling that acronym in at least one place.
