After 2 nerve-wracking days, our team OnlyFeet managed to get first place in the Petronas CTF 2023 among 63 university teams! 🎉 Huge shoutout to my awesome teammates, Lim Wei Xun, Wesley Wong Kee Han, and Damien Wong for being the real MVPs throughout the game. I've learnt a lot from these sifus and I cannot thank them enough for that🙏

Big thanks and congratulations to all the participants who brought their A-game as well! And of course, mad props to the organizers for putting together an exceptional CTF with an amazing setup that truly tested our limits. The hardware challenge definitely caught me off guard, but it was a great learning experience 😂

Also, I would like to thank the Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation (APU / APIIT) CTF lecturers, as the number of CTF players in APU literally doubled up after the CTF module was introduced, and it was super awesome to see more talents in the field 🙌

Grateful for the experience and the chance to compete among such talented individuals. I'm currently cooking the mini-writeup at the moment – stay tuned! 🍽
