Crypto Chain — Lattice Reduction Puzzle
Broke a custom RSA variant by recovering related primes through a lattice-based attack, after ruling out the more obvious Wiener's attack path.
read_notes.md →CTF competitor and Hack The Box regular, training through Olicyber and CyberChallenge.IT with one goal in sight: a spot on TeamItaly. This is my competition log, not a client report.
I'm building my way into offensive security through Italian CTF programs — Olicyber and CyberChallenge.IT — and by grinding boxes on Hack The Box. Web and crypto challenges are where I spend most of my time, with binary exploitation as the thing I'm actively leveling up.
No real-world vulnerabilities disclosed yet — everything here comes from CTF competitions and lab environments. Every event gets logged, win or lose. Next milestone: qualifying for TeamItaly.
