The notebook
Notes on research, methods, and the puzzles worth working through.
What I built for Hacktoberfest: a research digest shaped around the reader, with structured summaries, source checks, and a path toward the interactive papers in iPDF.
My third-place finish in MANU Protocol / The Last Dataset: a detailed walkthrough of timeline reconstruction, radio signals, git timestamp steganography, PDF provenance, PNG bit planes, and file integrity.
A detailed CTF investigation through layered ciphers, image and audio forensics, museum records, and a cake hiding a QR code—with 20 preserved flags and an honest account of the unfinished trail.
