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:
