Over the past year, I've created technical adventure for people eager to challenge their skill and knowledge about many technical fields, while also having fun !

Programming, version control, command line, network protocols, cryptography, steganography, games, … Thorough the game you'll switch from decades old to state of the art technologies, and use it all to progress through a dystopian story happening around the 2^nd^ Epochalypse.

Get your systems ready, and hope that you'll be done with it before the Advent of Code starts, because you will probably not handle both at the same time ;)

@wgs This is another one of those NSA recruitment puzzles, isn't it?

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating @scenesbycolleen @wgs @udongle @Elliptica @jeffcliff looks fun to me! The computing side of things is likely beyond me, though. Were you thinking we could do it as a team?

@ai @scenesbycolleen @wgs @udongle @Elliptica @jeffcliff Why not?

It's like the good ol' notpr0n puzzle, people worked on that together and had a good chunk of fun with it.

I wish, but unfortunately that's just me having too much free time on my hands and a passion for scavenger hunts !

@wgs Well, that's honestly more fun. The NSA recruitment puzzles get taken down once a few people solve them, which makes it more of a time pressure thing than anything else.

My goal with this one was to make a fully "self-sufficient" hunt that runs on a single server, so that it can stay up for as long as possible, without relying on external resources.

Glad to know you're having fun ! Feel free to join the cybfarm and/or the #cybfarm IRC channel at libera.chat if you wanna meet with other hunters. There's not much people yet, but I hope the community will grow over time as people start taking on the first chapters !
