Capture the Flags

Five flags are hidden around this site — some in the obvious places, some not. No writeups, no hints beyond what's below. Find one, drop it in, watch the counter move.

0 / 5 flags captured

01 — Recon

easy

Some things only show up to people who look at what's underneath. View source on the homepage.

02 — Console

easy

Every good analyst checks the logs first. Open your browser's console on the homepage.

03 — Decode

medium

No hunting needed for this one — just cryptanalysis. The string below is XOR'd against a repeating key: the name of the lab listed under “Current Role" on the homepage.

04 — Traffic

medium

Not everything that loads is linked in the page. Watch the network tab while the homepage loads — one small file isn't referenced anywhere you can click, only in what it fetches.

05 — Crawlers 🤖

hard

Search engine crawlers get handed a map of where not to go. That's usually the most interesting place on the map.

All five flags captured.

Not many people make it this far — recon, console digging, traffic sniffing, and a bit of cryptanalysis. Nicely done.
