General Questions

Q0 – Is Bytrep managed by a company or a team? +

No. Bytrep is an independent research platform fully developed, maintained, and managed by a single individual under the pseudonym Byte Reaper.

Q1 – What is Bytrep? +

First, Bytrep is a platform for a new company established under the name Bytrep Advanced Security Lab SARL AU.
It is an advanced cybersecurity research platform focused on reverse engineering, exploit development, and low‑level security research, with a strong emphasis on responsible disclosure and legal compliance.

Q2 – Is Bytrep a CTF platform? +

No. Bytrep is not a traditional CTF platform. It is a long‑term educational and research initiative based on manual analysis, reverse engineering, and the development of a professional offensive security mindset.

Q3 – Who is this platform intended for? +

Bytrep is intended for security researchers, exploit developers, kernel engineers, and individuals interested in low‑level system analysis within a strict legal and ethical framework.

Privacy & Data

Q7 – Are users tracked? +

No. The website does not use behavioral tracking, analytics, or profiling technologies.

Q8 – Is user data sold or shared? +

No. User data is never sold and is only shared when legally required by authorized authorities.

Reverse Engineering Challenges

Q9 – Where should I start? +

You should always start from Level 0. The challenge series is strictly progressive, and skipping levels is strongly discouraged.

Q10 – Do the challenges end at Level 5? +

No. The challenge series is planned to extend from Level 0 to Level 75. Some advanced levels are still under active development.

Q11 – Can the challenges be solved using strings only? +

Only in the very early levels. Starting from Level 2, string‑based extraction is no longer sufficient.

Q12 – Are the challenges limited to kernel‑space? +

No. The series includes user‑space, kernel‑space, hybrid logic, LLVM IR analysis, and advanced obfuscation techniques.

Q13 – Are hints provided? +

Some levels include educational hints, but full solutions always require manual analysis and technical reasoning.

Tools & Skills

Q14 – What tools are recommended? +

GDB, Cutter, Ghidra, Binary Ninja, objdump, xxd, and professional hex editors.

Q15 – Is assembly language required? +

Yes. From intermediate levels onward, reading and understanding assembly code is essential.

Q16 – Are the challenges suitable for beginners? +

Early levels are beginner‑friendly, but the platform is primarily designed for intermediate to advanced practitioners.
