[TCON8] To everyone behind HackTheNorth’s TCON8 — thank you so much.

On behalf of shinigami.ph, we are sincerely grateful to the organizers, speakers, and everyone working behind the scenes for building an event that was both inspiring and genuinely fun to be part of.

A special and heartfelt thank you to the CTF creators and challenge authors — laet4x, cadeath, matalibre, 0xMZ3C, and the teams behind Project-AG and Recon Village PH — thank you for the time, effort, and creativity you poured into making the challenges possible.

I also want to express my sincere gratitude to my employer, Secuna, and to my part-time consultancy at IntegSec for being understanding and supportive, and for allowing me the time to join opportunities like this. I’m truly thankful for the trust and flexibility.

To our fellow competitors: thank you for the great fights, the sportsmanship, and the new friendships formed along the way. And to everyone who greeted and supported us as we were fortunate enough to claim victory in the TCON8 CTF — maraming salamat. We don’t take that kindness lightly.

We learned a lot throughout the event, met new faces, and gained so many valuable insights from the talks — ideas that strengthen the cyber community and help us better protect the rights and safety of each individual.

Thank you again, TCON8. We’re grateful to have been part of it, and we’re already looking forward to the next events. 🙏💙
