Good luck!
- tptacek 11y agoThings are looking good, but we're decorating the family Christmas tree tonight, and so I took a break about 30 minutes ago. My current guess is that our part will be up tomorrow early. Just for anyone interested: We're pushing a "trainer" tomorrow, which is essentially "one level" of the CTF, so that people who have never looked at low-level embedded systems code can get the hang of it, and so we can, you know, not blow up when the actual CTF runs. The trainer can do some things that the real CTF UI won't be able to do (because they would make levels too easy to clear), so I'm just fine with that. It's fun in a different way from the CTF. The full CTF we'll post in a week or two. Ironically: it was pruning all the real CTF levels out that screwed me this week. You go into thinking "all we're doing is removing functionality, this will be easy", and by the end of the week you're setting your computer on fire.
