How it's built

The site is published automatically with Jekyll on GitHub Pages. Writeups are written in Obsidian (markdown), and a small script (build.py) adapts them to Jekyll's format so there's no HTML to touch by hand.

To add a machine:

1. Write the writeup in Obsidian using ![[image.png]] for screenshots.

2. Save it in its difficulty/OS folder (Easy/Linux/, etc.) and the images in Images/.

3. Convert and push:

   python3 build.py
   git add .
   git commit -m "feat: add <machine> writeup"
   git push

GitHub Pages rebuilds the site automatically.
