I'm eighteen. Capture the flag is how I train — web, reversing, crypto, forensics — and a scoreboard every weekend keeps me honest about how much I actually know. When a competition ends, the same habit goes at production tools: I read the source, find the bug, and send the fix to the people who maintain it.
All of it points the same direction. I want to end up on a red team — the person who gets paid to find the way in before someone who means it does.
Capture the flag
Recent finishes. I play as telqrrrr, with a small team.
Every result is on CTFtime if you want to check it.
Fixes that landed
Bugs I ran into while reading the tools this field actually runs on. These went into the real projects — not my own repos. Each links to the pull request.
My own tools
I build in Rust and Go too — local network and IoT discovery, API recon, packet inspection. Usually because I wanted the tool to exist, or wanted to understand how the real one works by writing my own. It's on GitHub.
