# Intro As a self-taught cybersecurity enthusiast, I find it relatively hard to truly "learn" just by solving lots and lots of challenges without knowing exactly how it works. From my experience, YouTube videos or other CTF writeups that has similar approaches might help, but usually they provide a limited amount of explanation, only how-to-solve(s) and write-what-where(s). Here, I want to take my part in explaining approaches, not only to whom might stumble upon my notes, but also to myself. To look back just in case I keep forgetting the how-it-works. Welcome, everyone! These notes will serve as my personal journal whenever I learn something new, or for writeups of challenges (not only CTF!) that interest me or made me learn something new. I really hope I can stay active here. \~ nabilmuafa --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
