CTF-Party is a library to enhance and speed up script/exploit writing for CTF players (or security researchers, bug bounty hunters, pentesters but mostly focused on CTF) by patching the String class to add a short syntax of usual code patterns.
The philosophy is also to keep the library to be pure ruby (no dependencies) and not to re-implement what another library is already doing well (eg. xorcist for xor).
For example instead of writing:
require ‘base64’
myvar = ‘string’
myvar = Base64.strict_encode64(myvar)
Just write (shorter and easier to remember):
require ‘ctf_party’
myvar = ‘string’
myvar.to_b64!

Ubuntu 26.04 LTS "Resolute Raccoon" was released on April 23, 2026 with Linux kernel 7.0, GNOME desktop, and standard security support until April 2031. A clean install gives you a known-good starting point on new hardware, when replacing another operating system, or when an upgrade path is not practical. This guide walks through how to install Ubuntu 26.04: downloading and verifying the ISO, writing a bootable USB drive, completing the installer, and doing the initial setup after the first boot. Before you start: You need a USB drive with at least 12 GB of free space. Back up any existing data on the target machine — the installer can erase the entire disk.

The correct timezone affects more than the clock on your screen. It drives cron job scheduling, systemd timer execution, log file timestamps, database record timing, and SSL certificate validity checks. A mismatched timezone can cause scheduled jobs to fire at the wrong hour and make log timestamps impossible to match with real-world events. This guide shows how to change timezone on Ubuntu using the timedatectl command (the recommended approach for servers and remote machines) and through the graphical Date & Time settings on desktop systems. The steps apply to all current Ubuntu releases including 24.04 and 26.04. <strong>Prerequisite:</strong> Only the root user or a user with sudo access can change the system timezone. Check the Current Timezone Before You Change It Run timedatectl with no arguments to see the active timezone and clock status: bashtimedatectl Sample output: Local…
