i got tired of being stuck on CTF problems with no idea where to start.

not stuck on the hard part. stuck on the first part. no clue what category of attack to try, no clue what tool to reach for, just a challenge description and a file and nothing.

writeups skip straight to the solution. asking in a discord usually gets you the answer handed to you or nothing at all. i wanted something in between.

so i made this. you describe the challenge, you get a hint. the first one is vague, just a direction to look. the second is more specific. the third gets you close but doesn't solve it for you.

mostly useful if you're new to CTFs and don't know where to begin. but also useful when you're not new and you're just completely blanking on what to try next.
