Challenge categories

Six domains, one skill: finding what shouldn't be findable

Web exploitation

Find and chain vulnerabilities in web applications — the most common attack surface in production today.

SQLiXSSSSRFIDOR

Cryptography

Break weak schemes, exploit implementation flaws, and recover plaintext that was never supposed to come back.

RSAHashingSteganography

Reverse engineering

Read a binary the way its author never intended you to — disassemble, debug, and rebuild its logic in your head.

GhidraGDBx64dbg

Binary exploitation

Corrupt memory on purpose. Bypass modern mitigations and turn a bug into arbitrary code execution.

Buffer overflowHeapASLR bypass

Digital forensics

Reconstruct an intrusion after the fact from memory dumps, disk images, and packet captures.

Memory analysisPCAPDisk images

OSINT

Pull scattered public data into a coherent picture — the reconnaissance phase of every real engagement.
