Background I competed in the HackTheBox University CTF this year with the Flinders University Cybersecurity Society. The University CTF is an international competition for university students to compete as a team with their peers. The competiton had 955 teams this year.
There were six types of puzzles in the CTF. I focused my efforts on the Reverse Engineering challenges, and was able to solve 2 of them.
A reverse engineering challenge involves finding a secret flag hidden inside an executable application.
