About
I am Rahul Razz, a Computer Science undergraduate at IIT Bhilai and a part-time CTF player with Team Nova.
My current focus is low-level security: binary exploitation, reverse engineering, cryptography, Linux internals, and firmware analysis. This site is where I publish writeups, research notes, exploit development notes, and projects that are useful enough to survive beyond one terminal session.
Current Work
- Competing in CTFs with Team Nova since April 2025
- Solving pwn challenges involving memory corruption, heap exploitation, and FSOP
- Working on firmware reverse engineering for hardware security assessment
- Studying bootloaders, secure boot flows, and firmware integrity checks
- Documenting exploit strategy with GDB, pwntools, IDA, Ghidra, and Binary Ninja
