I would like, in the name of sec0d, to clarify some points that were highlighted by dcua, concerning our final ranking. I'll take their points, and answer to each :

"It is unusual when team which according to ctftime archives https://ctftime.org/team/1787 never placed top10 of any CTF wins by mass flag submits in last 5 minutes, in competition where known good teams like p4, ASIS or Bushwhackers play."

We are a small team that does not play with its full members regularly. It was the case for the Hackit. For the last 5 minutes, some lines later, we can see that we didn't submit "mass flags" in last 5 minutes, but only... two flags. Not having the same definition of "massive" I think. If you really need explanations, we had the Crypto200 before and we kept it, just in case. A mate solved the Misc150 5 min before the CTF ended, and we sent the Crypto200 with it.

"we have problem of not only last 5 minutes -- 4 flags in 3 minutes (974-977), groups of 2 flags in 5 minutes (1005-1006, 1059-1063). You can not solve it by yourself in such interval (Crypt300 for example requires implementation of modified playfair256-pcbc and heavy guessing), and to CTF end there is 7 hours (so it is not flag holding)."

Do you know that this is not a solo competition? The interval between solves is not relevant, as some people are working on parallel tasks, and that's why it happens that some challenges are resolved with a little delay. From you and me, it was a completely stupid assessment, that only demonstrates the frustration of having their ass kicked off by a little team.

We, sec0d, proposed to share our entire IRC logs that demonstrates we solved each challenge we did, and we were able to provide a write-up for each challenge we did. Also if you believe only biggest teams have strong pwners, I wonder why was web200 only solved by us (genuinely). Staff told us the other validation was done by glitching...
