A personal collection of Capture The Flag (CTF) competition writeups from 2018 onwards.
mzfr/ctf-writeups is a GitHub repository containing detailed writeups of solutions to challenges from various Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions. It documents the author's participation in events starting from 2018, providing step-by-step explanations of how specific security and hacking challenges were solved. The repository serves as a practical reference for understanding CTF problem-solving techniques and methodologies.
Cybersecurity students, CTF players, and ethical hackers seeking to learn from documented solutions to improve their skills in security competitions.
It offers a personal, curated collection of writeups with clear organization by competition and year, making it a valuable free resource for self-paced learning in offensive security. The inclusion of team context (OTA) adds collaborative insights often missing in solo writeups.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Includes writeups from multiple CTF events like picoCTF, TUCTF, and OtterCTF across years, with specific counts listed in the index (e.g., 57 for picoCTF 2018).
Writeups are neatly categorized by competition year and event in index tables, making it easy to navigate and find solutions for specific challenges.
Many writeups reference the Open To All (OTA) team, providing context on collaborative problem-solving approaches, as noted in the README.
Links to a separate HackTheBox writeup repository, offering additional hands-on content for practical security practice beyond CTFs.
Only covers competitions the author participated in, missing many other CTF events and potentially lacking diversity in challenge types.
The README shows no commitment to updates; it's a personal archive, so solutions may become outdated for evolving CTF landscapes.
Writeups often skip basic explanations, assuming familiarity with CTF tools and concepts, which can hinder learners without prior experience.
