CTF-Writeups

Capture The Flag Writeups from UiA-CTF team members.

How to write a CTF Writeup

  • Try to retrace the steps you did to solve the task.
    • Like the thought process and what you tried in order to solve the task,
  • Try to make a rough sketch of what you did and what you tried, and how you progressed to the answer of the task
  • Remember to give everyone who helped in solving the task credit (if they provided helpful insigth in solving the task)

What should be in the writeup.

  • The task analysis with clear explanations for what you found, don't assume something is "obvious" (because it might not be)
  • Explain the task itself, so that someone without in-depth knowledge of the challenge can also understand the idea
  • Include intermediate steps, eg. for crypto don't just write we arrive at equation XYZ, but actually provide the calculations
  • Include code snippets and examples/sanity checks for intermediate steps to "show" what is going on
  • The writeup should be in proper order, so it can be followed
