On 31 March, I've participated in Wicked6 2023 - Global Women Cyber League Games with the intention of getting at least a Top 3 in any of their CTF games (A redemption for last year due to the lack of time), and here's what I got in 24 hours:
 
 
2nd Place in Haiku CTF by Haiku, Inc

For context, the Wicked 6 Global Women's Cyber League is an international event for women and girls to participate in cyber games such as Capture the flag (CTF) competition. This event is comprised of 9 different CTFs sponsored by eight esteemed organizations, such as the U.S. Cyber Range of Virginia Tech, Meta CTF, CyberTalents, Women's Society of Cyberjutsu, Haiku Inc, Security Innovation, SANS, and InspireTech. These Cyber Games cater to participants of all skill levels, whether they're beginners just starting or seasoned professionals seeking to further their knowledge and expertise. With the opportunity to test their critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork skills in a supportive and empowering environment, attendees can build their confidence and expand their network with peers and professionals in the cybersecurity field.
 
I feel like all my hard work and dedication has finally paid off, and it's an incredible feeling. Achieving my recent victory might be a small feat, but it has only fueled me to work even harder in the future, and I'm all for it!
 
Last but not least, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the organizers of the Wicked6 games for facilitating a seamless CTF experience. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have participated in it and I'm definitely looking forward to the next one!
