Our Games

Operation: Midnight Cipher

“We have gained access to a terminal at a criminal’s desk and need to access the laptop. However, there is no trace of a key anywhere; we only found a single string. Use that to figure out what the password might be. The system’s kernel is locked behind a cryptic challenge that defies all standard bypass protocols. Every failed attempt triggers a self-destruct sequence, leaving this lone string as our only hope to crack the encryption.”

  • CATEGORY: Cryptography
  • DIFFICULTY: level 1
  • ESTIMATED TIME: 30 MIN
  • Task: Identify the encryption and recover the original string.
  • Format: FLAG{...}
