About

Hi, this is Tanglee’s blog. You may come across some other nicknames of mine, such as tl2cents, IcingMoon.

I will try to post more content in English. If you find any mistakes or have any suggestions, please feel free to contact me via email or other social media (tl2cents on discord).

CTF Stuff

I am a CTF player, mainly focusing on crypto and blockchain. I play for Never Stop Exploiting abbr. NeSE in most international CTF competitions. In spare time, I also participate in some other CTF teams, such as Nebula.

I write some writeups of the CTF challenges I solved, you can find them in tl2cents’s blog, most of which are written in Chinese. I am considering migrating part of them to here if I have time.

Edu. & Research

I got my bachelor’s degree in information security from University of Science and Technology of China aka USTC from 2018 to 2022.

I am currently a Ph.D. student at Institute of Information Engineering, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences. My research interests include zero-knowleddge proof, blockchain security, and applied cryptography. Currently, my main research focus is on SNARKs and their applications in blockchain.

Miscellaneous

I used to be obsessed with Genshin Impact and my favorite character is Yoimiya. Currently, seems like not so many games can attract me anymore and I am more into programming and reading in my spare time. Still, I play some games occasionally including Maj-soul, Palworld, and Genshin Impact.
