CTF

A new chain every month. Drops unlock in order. Decode challenges take an exploit file name. The gauntlet means beating all three in the interrogation room.

What it is

A new chain every month: dead drops, decodes and a gauntlet. Points land on a board under your burner handle.

How a turn works

Dead drops hide a flag behind a cipher. Decodes want the ~/ops exploit file a message runs. The gauntlet wants all three interrogation rooms beaten.

Goal

Clear the chain in order and top the board. Flags are checked on the server.

Example

A message that keeps saying "when you sign" and "which plan" is running presuppositions. That file name is the answer.

playing as ... .

Flags are checked on the server against hashes. Your handle is claimed by your burner key the first time you score. Lose the key, lose the handle. Export it from ~/ops.
