## Description

This project is a security training wiki and markdown knowledge base that provides technical guides, categorized exercises, and tool directories for participants in competitive security challenges. It serves as a comprehensive resource for capture the flag training, organizing learning materials into a searchable website.

The knowledge base covers specialized security domains including cryptography, web security, and reverse engineering. It includes a curated directory of research tools and software used for vulnerability research and exploitation, alongside a repository of practical challenges designed to apply theoretical security concepts.

The site is built using a static site generation model that converts markdown files into HTML pages. It features a category-based information hierarchy for navigation and client-side search indexing for content retrieval.
