    • Fancy Web The Ministry of Information and Communications Technology of Konoha has recently launched their new official website. While it appears to be a standard government portal showcasing public services and announcements, our intelligence sources have indicated that this WordPress-based website contains hidden information that could expose corruption and human rights violations. The website features a unique table processing system that displays various government data, but our analysts suspect that the developers have hidden sensitive information within the table structures themselves. The site's administrators are known for their sophisticated obfuscation techniques, making it difficult to distinguish between legitimate public data and concealed evidence. Your mission is to investigate this website and uncover the hidden information by looking beyond the surface-level content and examining how the tables are processed and displayed - the truth might be hidden, waiting for someone with the right skills to reveal it. 15 min read

    • vidplow We recently stumbled upon an exposed SVN server of a large multimedia corporation, containing some of their backend application and internal tooling code. However, the access keys seem to not be the ones used in production - the real ones should fetch us quite a high price though, if we manage to get our hands on them that is. Just one problem - the tech stack seems to be really obscure, and no one on our team seems to have any clue what the heck is going on. Can you take a look, and maybe find some vulnerabilities in this thing? 4 min read
    • KDF dream We've managed to insert ourselves into a secure channel between two covert agents, however we overplayed our hand and they have become suspicious that their channel is compromised. Realising that there is no way to restablish trust over the compromised network, Alice called for them to carry out a NIST Certified KDF protocol to generate a symmetric OTP, and then for them to use this to encrypt a physical message at a dead drop location. We want to control the message she leaves, can you influence their conversation to control what Bob reads at the dead drop? 9 min read
