About

Hello World...

I'm Ryo Soikutsu, a cybersecurity student in Singapore

I have interest in red-team and blue-team cybersecurity activities. As well as teaching others about cybersecurity

I enjoy participating in, and organizing capture-the-flag (CTFs) competitions.
I am part of a CTF team, Yes But No. I also help to organize CTFs and workshops for my school's cybersecurity club.

I have my own blog, where I publish CTF challenge writeups and challenge creation tutorials to share my experience. You can check out my blog here.
I enjoy using Linux, and I have a daily driver laptop using Arch Linux. My dotfiles can be found here

Currently Im a student at a polytechnic in Singapore. I am also part of the WorldSkills Singapore programme, representing the Cyber Security trade.

Aside from studies, I enjoy playing video games, particularly technical Minecraft modpacks and space MMOs.
