2026-04-11 — 🔥 New Drop: 3 Web Challenges & AI Guideline
3 new web challenges are live!
~ Trust Issues (Easy, 100 XP) — A secure-ish auth portal. Log in as guest / guest and find a way up the ladder.
~ Greeting Card (Medium, 150 XP) — A message generator that maybe takes your input a little too literally.
~ Health Check (Easy, 100 XP) — A network diagnostic tool.
We've also added a short AI Usage section to the platform Rules: using an LLM to learn is welcome, farming flags with it just skips the fun part.
2026-03-03 — 📢 Platform Update — Labs, Scoring & CTF Thursdays
~ Web Challenges Are Live: 5 interactive web labs dropped!
~ Binary Exploitation (Pwn): 1 pwn challenge updated and 2 new ones deployed
~ XP Rebalance & Hint Improvements: All existing solves have been retroactively recalculated
~ UI Polish: Navigation, footer, and typography cleaned up for a better reading experience
2026-01-23 — 🔍 New Challenge: Verification Required (Forensics)
A social engineering attack. A memory dump. Multiple layers and decoys.
~ Memory Forensics
~ Difficulty: 4/5 (Hard)
~ XP: 200 (+ first blood)
Find the right artifact. Don't fall for the traps. Good luck!
