Welcome to HackTM_CTF_2020

If you want to be selected for the finals, your team MUST send writeups. We recommend the top 20 teams to do so.

Deadline: 2020-02-05 23:59 UTC (2 days 16 hours after the CTF ends)
Accepted formats: text, markdown, pdf, exploit script w/ comments, anything sane (you can ask us if uncertain)
Send them to: ctf+writeups@hacktm.ro

Anyone can send writeups.
We ask you to wait until after the deadline to make yours public. This is to prevent any plagarism confusion.
The top 10 teams with valid writeups will be qualified to the finals.
You must provide a description of the ENTIRE solution.
You don't have to be extremely detailed, but your writeup must be detailed enough that someone who doesn't know the challenge at all but is familiar with its category can use it to solve the challenge without having to fill in the gaps.
Please use english.
