About ​

Hello there, I am Simon, a 22 year-old cybersecurity student at Saarland University. I am currently in my last bachelor semester writing my thesis. Parts of my freetime are dedicated to playing Capture-The-Flag competitions (usually with my team saarsec). Thus, I will be looking forward to showing some cool challenge solutions in the Write-Ups section.
