For International Chart Day I'm sharing a #dataviz I made a while back for a blog post.
This was the best way I could think of to show how two competitors rapidly switched between tools while solving a CTF challenge.
It doesn't tell the whole story, but one interesting bit pops right out--the player that won never returned to reversing once they got their initial crash.
Does anyone have better ideas on how to show this kind of data? I'd love to hear them.

As the CTF community has grown and the game has matured, we’ve seen an upward trend in both speed and sophistication of competitors and challenges, but one of the most interesting and pervasive questions remains: what do CTF champions do that sets them apart?
And in case you missed our previous episode, right before DEFCON, we chatted with @psifertex, glenns, and negasora from #LiveCTF!
We talked about LiveCTF competitions in @defcon #CTF Finals 2022 and DEF CON CTF Quals 2023! We also chat about the history of LiveCTF, spectating CTF, the difficulty in creating a challenge at the appropriate difficult level for a spectated CTF, and more!
