CTF Writeups

Overview

This directory structure contains writeups for CTF (Capture the Flag) challenges and cybersecurity exercises.

Each writeup documents the analysis, tools, and solution steps used to solve a challenge, preserving the context of where and how techniques were first encountered.

Structure

Relationship to ctf-techniques/

Writeups in this directory structure feed the ctf-techniques/ reference documentation. When a challenge introduces a technique that is worth keeping as a standalone reference (e.g., a new tool, attack pattern, or protocol) it gets extracted and documented there in a reusable, challenge-agnostic form.

The writeups preserve the original challenge context; the techniques documentation distills the reusable knowledge.
