      <description>&lt;p&gt;Sometimes, you get a JPEG, and you just know it’s lying to you. It smiles at you innocently like any regular image, but as a hacker, you know better. So, I stared at the given JPEG for a moment — instinctively opened it in a hex editor. Why? Because standard images don’t end with a bunch of gibberish appended to them.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;0x00 – Prologue&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This one was different. Not just some base64 puzzle or random math CTF fluff. It had structure. It had depth. I knew from the first glance that &amp;ldquo;Encrypted Mail&amp;rdquo; was hiding something sophisticated. There was a Zero-Knowledge Proof involved — that alone made me crack my knuckles. That phrase isn’t tossed around unless it means business.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sometimes a CTF throws everything at you: logic bugs, broken binaries, half-documented APIs, and the occasional ancient Star Wars meme. NahamCon 2023 was that kind of ride. Our team, SneakBytes, dove in headfirst and came out the other side with a trail of solved challenges, caffeinated brains, and some solid lessons.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
