My CTF page


As a programming hobbyist, I believe that Capture the Flag competitions, or CTFs, are the greatest discipline of computer science. CTF competitions involve working together with a team to exploit vulnerablites in programs or computer systems to find a "flag", a specific text string that serves as the answer to the challenge.

Part of my love for competing in CTFs comes from having fun with my team. My close high school friends Ruien, Adrian, Kevin and I form the CTF team asmhole. Together, we:

  • Went to DEF CON 31 together! We won 1st place for Starphish CTF and a Flipper Zero
  • Won 1st place for b01lers CTF 2024 Purdue division
  • Won 10th place for Square CTF 2023 and $200
  • Finished as the 43rd national CTFtime team in 2023

The rest of this page is dedicated towards my CTF competition history and my write-ups. Note that I've ommitted asmhole competitions I minimally participated in.
