About
I'm Antonio Scarano, a Computer Science & Automation Engineering student at the Polytechnic University of Bari. I like understanding how systems work by taking them apart, and CTFs are where I practice it.
In 2026 I was selected among the top students at PoliBa for CINI CyberChallenge.IT and qualified as a National Finalist. The training covered Jeopardy and Attack/Defense challenges, along with the theory behind common software vulnerabilities and how to defend against them.
Right now I'm writing up the challenges I solved during training, keeping my Arch Linux setup public, and working through security courses.
