Taisa
(First in a three-part series.)
In 2017, Taisa was traumatized by logs. In 2018, she was analyzing logs by hand on a browser-only Chromebook. In 2020, she was #1 on the leaderboard in Log Analysis at the end of the Spring Preseason. Follow her Command-line Log Analysis blog series to find out which tools she used and how she did it—and how you can, too!

wolfshirtz
It's not often that a tool comes along and changes things. For wolfshirtz, that tool was Ghidra, an open-source decompiler that turns assembly language into something more human-readable. And it's not often that a blog post comes along and explains Ghidra so well! Wolfshirtz walks you through how to get started with Ghidra, his tricks for getting a feel for and maximizing its features, and his cheat sheet of top hotkeys!
