Carolina Con Online 2 CTF Writeup
This repo covers NilbinSec's participation in the CTF during Carolina Con Online 2. Carolina Con is a infosec/hacking conference hosted out of North Carolina that has been online due to COVID-19. Last year, Carolina Con's CTF was NilbinSec's first CTF and this year's did not disappoint with a good mixture of entry level flags moving up to very difficult problems we were unable to solve.
The CTF was broken into the following sections with specific section write-ups in the listed folders:
1. Brew
2. Crypto
3. File Fun
4. Hello World
5. Network
6. Network Theory
7. Obfuscation
8. OSINT
9. Pwn
10. Scripting
11. Slackware
12. Space Weather
13. Web
NilbinSec placed 3rd overall with 1295 points! This is our best result in a CTF to date and was a significant improvement over last year when we barely broke into the top 10. Team securisec came in first place with 2238 points, and Team Oh_The_Places_Youll_Pwn came in second with 1724 points
