TISC 2026 by CSIT wrapped last week. Five finals challenges, five completely different rabbit holes.
Favourite was a hardware one. Spent hours convinced my approach was broken. Quick chat with an organiser revealed the truth: NO ONE HOLDS THE ADMIN DEVICE. It was on a pole up front. I was pressing my button every time a different organiser walked past my desk like an NPC. Walked over, pressed it, boom, solved.
Sometimes the bug is not in your code. It is in your assumptions about the room.

Reflecting on Day 1 of the HTX CTF Finals here in Singapore.
I didn't win, but the technical takeaway was clear: Precision is a force multiplier.
By focusing on a high hit rate rather than just speed, I held 5th place for a good portion of the day. It’s a great reminder that in our field, being precise is a technical skill in itself.
Looking forward to the Day 2 challenges tomorrow!
