A few weeks ago, Rizato and I participated in the first Lang Jam. The goal of the jam was to create a prototype language in 48 hours according to a theme, for the first jam the theme was “first-class comments”. Overall this was a great experience, and it was cool to produce a language that, while maybe not real-world useful, was a fun take on a very interesting theme. We were also fortunate enough to be featured in the winners video, along with several other amazing entries!

iCTF is a month-long competition where daily challenges are posted to Discord. Challenges are usually beginner-focused, and with new challenges in the morning (for me), I’ve found it to be a good warm-up to start off the day. I also have writeups for round 6 and round 7. Challenges which I found particularly fun this round were Restricted Access, Greatest Common Flag Hardened, and too_smoll. A big thank you to all the challenge authors and board members for organizing this round.

In general I found this round to be about on par, but maybe a bit easier than the prior round. Challenges which I found particularly fun this round were It’s not RSA, I swear!

This round had a large number of crypto challenges, which I found pretty interesting and a good driver to learn some new stuff along the way. Round 6 ended up with just under 1600 members in the server, and the community has been very welcoming and helpful!
