You know those moments when you stumble upon something and your gut instinct screams "I HAVE TO JOIN THIS NOW"? Well, that's exactly what happened when I laid eyes on the Blue Team CTF by Antisyphon Training and MetaCTF Inc. (That was already ongoing when I found it). Without a second thought, I jumped in solo, even though the clock was ticking – the CTF ended just 3 hours before the Hack In The Box (HITB) SECCON Conference 2023 began.

I ended up snagging the 10th place out of 113 teams, after a 4-hour (?) adrenaline rush during midnight 🤣 Sure, there were moments of frustration (especially when the wifi is less than 100 kbps so some files did not download in time :'D), but each one was a lesson in disguise. Kudos to the organisers for making such fun challenges!

I may have finished 10th this time, but I'm setting my sights on the top, and I'll definitely join the next one! Until then, here's to the thrill of the hunt, the joy of discovery, and the unwavering commitment to never stop learning. 🚀
