From 3rd april to the 12th april 2026 was the FCSC : the annual competition organised by ANSSI to select members for the ECSC (european cyber competition).

I participated in “hors-catégorie”, since I am older than 25. While my objectives starting the CTF was to manage first place in pwn in hors-catégorie, I sadly didn’t perform as I wished and “only” managed to secure the second place and a 45th place overall.

While I was a bit disappointed in not achieving 1st place or solving all the pwn challenges, and felt like I clearly didn’t perform at my best, it’s still a nice progression from starting pwn less than two years ago :)

Below are the links for all the writeups of the pwn challenges (note that I did not solve wsd and notsoboring during the CTF).
