Joined the UMDCTF after the CTF already had started. Nice varieties in this CTF. I especially enjoyed the Hardware category. ...

I participated in a very nice CTF over the weekend as a member of team Weak But Leet. The challenges were a good mix of ciphers, reverse-engineering and some unique challenges. We scored 4920 points and were placed 10th. We also scored a first blood on one challenge. This CTF was more of a ‘puzzle-solving’ type CTF, rather than a purely security-centric one. Had a good mix of ciphers. And more importantly, the puzzles were constructed to be engaging and not be too guessy. ...
