We value community contributions and encourage our members to share their knowledge. While we have structured community content submissions, we also allow the submission of retired content writeups for investigations that are no longer active on our platform. If you’ve solved challenges or investigations in the past and want to share your writeups, here’s what you need to know.
How to Submit a Retired Content Writeup?
1. Confirm the Content Status
- Ensure that the investigation or challenge you are writing about is retired and no longer accessible on BTLO.
- You can check by logging into BTLO and searching for the content name on the Investigation or Challenges page.
2. Prepare Your Submission
- Your writeup must be original and accurate, detailing your approach to solving the challenge.
- Include clear explanations, steps taken, and any relevant screenshots that demonstrate the process.
- Ensure no direct flags or answers are included in the writeup—focus on methodology and learning.
3. Submit Your Request
- Go to our Support Page and select "Make a Request" at the top.
- Use the subject line: "Retired Content Writeup Submission".
- Provide your BTLO username (if you want to be listed as the author).
- Attach a URL link of your writeup.
Submission Guidelines & Requirements
- Original Work Only: Submissions must be your own and should not be copied from other sources.
- Clarity & Detail: The writeup should be well-structured, easy to follow, and explain why certain steps were taken.
- No Active Content: Ensure that the content you are covering has been officially retired before submitting.
- Educational Value: The purpose is to help others learn—avoid vague or incomplete explanations.
What Happens After Submission?

- Publishing: Once approved, the writeup will be published under our Featured Write up section under the Investigation/Challenge.
-
Recognition: We will credit you as the author of the writeup (BTLO username required).
Disclaimer
