- Tags: Use `ctf`, `writeup`, `web`, `ai`, and `certifications` to filter core themes.
- Reading Time: Posts include a "<X> min read" pattern to estimate article depth.
- URL Logic: URLs containing `/protected/` is protected contetn; URLs containing certification names are exam reviews. All other names are probably CTF write-ups.
