First CTF: Hack The Box Holmes CTF 2026

This past weekend I took part in my first Capture the Flag competition, Hack The Box’s Holmes CTF 2026 (“The Reichenbach Directive”), alongside a few colleagues as team FirstEnergy TSOC.

It was a great chance to practice and sharpen my forensic investigation skills in a hands-on, competitive setting. Next time, I’m hoping to dedicate even more time to the challenges themselves.

Looking forward to the next one.
