What this course was about
Excited to share a major milestone in my cybersecurity journey! 🎉 I've just completed COMP2633 (Competitive Programming in Cybersecurity I), an intense course full of CTF-style exercises that pushed my skills in binary, reverse engineering, cryptography, forensics, web exploitation and more to the next level. 😚😚😍
Results I'm proud of
Beyond finishing the course, I'm really happy to have achieved:
- 🥈 2nd place on the training platform leaderboard (4510 points)
- 🥉 3rd place on the practice platform leaderboard (8350 points)
Grinding, learning, and growing
None of this would have been possible without countless late nights grinding through tough homework, trying my absolute hardest on every challenge, and debugging until things finally clicked. The satisfaction of solving a stubborn problem after hours of effort is truly unmatched. 😭🥺
A huge thank you to all the course helpers — your guidance, hints and patience made a real difference. ❤️ I'm very grateful for this experience and even more motivated to keep learning and improving. 🔥
What's next
Next stage: COMP3633 + HKUST Firebird Team 🔥 and OSCP 🤓
