How to play

One should seek URLs of the following form: https://thcon-2026.m0rgan.net/<large-random-string-flag> and browse to them.

Please report your achievements by sending a mail to the email address provided on that page.

Make sure to include nick{your super fancy nickname} in the subject field to set your nickname in the scoreboard.

/!\ If you do not proceed as such, your validation email will be discarded.

The first challenger reporting the last flag will be considered as the winner, hence scalping fame and rewards. Nevertheless the remaining most proficient participants will also be rewarded with valuable swag.

The winner will also have the opportunity to present his write up in a dedicated slot of the conference

Here is how you get dragged into this adventure

In the year of our Lord 2126, the Xtreme Scavengers Squad gang has been repelled, but the turmoil is not close to its end. Viktor "Crypt" and Dimitri "The Network-Walker", two computer scientists from the XSS, managed to escape the special forces and are still running free. So when THCity’s SOC asks you for private investigation services, you fear the worst is about to come.

They fear that something is off at one of the SST Dynamics factories in the northern district, which supplies the police and special services with weapons and combat robots. Some network anomalies were detected, and since then... nothing. The systems seem down, the employees do not answer, and the secret services are already setting up a security perimeter around the facility.

For now they ask you to investigate SST Dynamics' website to see if anything could help you get more information as to what happened. You can access it at:

May they be recognized
