CryptoKait
This was the behind-the-scenes, CTF101 workshop that CryptoKait had been looking forward to all week! Her friend and fellow attendee, Lizzie Molloy, took these notes on how to approach CTF challenges, with a focus on cryptography, networks, web apps, and binaries, but the underlying problem-solving strategies are universal.

It was a marathon of a day—a marathon, not a race! Do as CryptoKait says, and not as CryptoKait does, and pace yourself for an exciting event recap that includes workshops, Speed Mentoring, a woman who changed majors 7 times, 2 after-parties... and what tech conference story would be complete without the police?

Audience members had one thing in common: a lack of confidence, or even outright fear of hackathons. What did presenters say to ease their minds? What does CryptoKait tell her students? And what pro tip did CryptoKait write down twice?

With 18,000 attendees and a worldwide live-stream, GHC is not just a conference; it's a movement. CryptoKait shares the inspiring stories of successful women in tech who overcame financial burdens, toxic relationships, and fears of failure. The trick in all cases is to "surround yourself with people who support you."

You may ask yourself, "What impact could I possibly have on the technical community at such an early stage in my career?" That question is answered very quickly after you ask yourself 52 other questions. CryptoKait recounts her experience at this inspiring workshop and some of those questions (with four minutes to spare!).
