corCTF 2021 - outfoxed

12 hours before the CTF ended, my friend hit me up telling me about the firefox pwn challenge in corCTF. I have never done Firefox/Spidermonkey pwn before, so this has been an awesome learning opportunity for me. Because I started the challenge when not much time was left, this write-up may not fully and correctly convey all technical details. Please keep that in mind and hit me up if you find anything incorrect, I would be happy to learn and update my post!

Google CTF 2021 - Fullchain

This year, I played Google CTF under team vh++. Although we did not solve this challenge during the CTF, we have finished it afterwards. This write-up explains the process of studying and writing exploit for chromium browser in the challenge Fullchain of Google CTF 2021. Since I have never tried a chrome sandbox escape or partition alloc exploit, this is a fantastic opportunity to learn both. Let’s go!

AceBear CTF 19

I had a lot of fun and a hard time during this CTF, but the challenges are really awesome. I spent the whole time solving one challenge: Incident Response (Misc 1000). In my opinion, this challenge closely resembles a real-life scenario and I’m glad that I’ve learned a lot out of it. So here goes the write up for it!

35C3 CTF

This is my first time participating in C3 CTF. Although I wasn’t able to solve many challenges within the time of the CTF, I still find the challenges really awesome and exciting. I wanted to solve pwnable challenges with the hope to learn more about exploit development of real applications, but ended up solving 2 RE ones. Here is my writeup for them :)

H1-702 CTF 2018

It’s this time of the year again and I have the chance to play the CTF held by Hackerone. It has a lot of mobile hacking challenge, and at the same time, I wanted to dive into this. What a good time to learn!

2017 SANS Holiday Hacking Challenge

This year, I’ve had the chance to participate in SANS Holiday Hacking Challenge. The first time I did it was last year. I didn’t think it was interesting with real pentesting stuffs until I read the writeups, so I decided to start early this year.

UB Lockdown V3

The weekend before Thanksgiving, I had the chance to play at Lockdown v3, an incident response competition held at University of Buffalo by UBNetDef.
