This was the least fun CTF I've played so far: | |
- The overall theme was cringy memes | |
- Points were all over the place | |
- Hints contained crucial data required to solve challenges | |
- Attachments weren't used consistently, instead challenge | |
descriptions contained unreadable data you had to obtain somewhere | |
else, like on their GitHub repository | |
- Most challenges involved higher than usual amounts of guessing | |
- The crypto category was mostly about decoding base64 and converting | |
numbers | |
- Somewhat surprisingly the CTF was designed to be played in a | |
cooperative rather than competitive manner; getting hints from other | |
teams on Discord was considered fine | |
Nevertheless here's a write-up for the most involved challenge I've | |
been able to solve: | |
