# Nullcon HackIM CTF Goa 2026

Hi, I’m **mis4nthr0pia** from **team Lil:Pwny** — a full-stack web developer, cybersecurity enthusiast, and computer science student based in the Philippines.

This GitBook contains my **Nullcon HackIM CTF Goa 2026** writeups, where I document how I approach challenges, identify vulnerabilities, and relate them to real-world security scenarios. It serves both as my personal knowledge base and as a way to give back to the CTF and infosec community.

I’m particularly interested in **web security, offensive security, and exploitation techniques**, especially challenges that appear straightforward at first but reveal deeper complexity once you dig into the implementation.

One of the most memorable challenges for me was **WordPress Static Site Generator**. While labeled as an *easy* web task, it required careful observation of error messages, understanding backend behavior, and creatively working around strict input constraints. By chaining a local file inclusion issue with server-side template processing, I was able to abuse the template engine to read sensitive server files. The challenge was a great reminder that even simple features—like template selection and file uploads—can become powerful attack vectors when validation and assumptions break down.

## 🛠 Technical Background

Alongside CTFs, I have a strong programming background, which I actively use when solving challenges:

* **Languages:** PHP, Python, JavaScript
* **Frameworks & Patterns:** Django, MVC-based architectures
* **Tools & Practices:** Linux, scripting, automation, basic pentesting workflows

This mix of **development and security** helps me understand both how systems are built and how they break — which is a perspective I try to reflect in every writeup.

## 📚 What You’ll Find Here

* Step-by-step CTF solutions
* Vulnerability analysis and root-cause explanations
* Payload construction and exploitation logic
* Lessons learned and alternative attack paths

Feel free to explore, learn, and adapt anything useful for your own journey.
