We hack in the dark.
theNyx is a CTF team that plays jeopardy events, shares what it learns, and does its best work somewhere past midnight.
What we play
6 directoriesWeb exploitation
Injection, auth bypasses, SSRF and whatever the framework forgot to sanitize.
Binary exploitation
Stack and heap bugs, ROP chains, format strings. Kernel on brave nights.
Reverse engineering
Ghidra, patience and snacks. Obfuscated binaries and custom VMs.
Cryptography
Weak RSA, lattices, nonce reuse and ciphers that should never have shipped.
Forensics
PCAPs, memory dumps, disk images and stego hiding in plain sight.
OSINT
Geolocating from one photo, username pivots and metadata nobody meant to leave.

About
Named after Nyx, the Greek goddess of night, because most of our solves land somewhere past midnight.
No gatekeeping. We split up challenges, help each other when stuck, and write things up afterwards so the next person gets there faster.
